40

Much of adventure and beauty.

With an equal amount of pain. 

The road to my 40.

Was not without rain.

Never to take for granted.

The life I continue to live.

To let go of a life I loved and wanted. 

God had reasons, I believe.

The rainbow on my 40.

The waves and the sea. 

My beautiful little family.

Is all the hope I need to see.

Still blessed.

Happy birthday to me! 

Letter No. 41 - 6th Birthday

Dear Lance,

Happy 06th Birthday! 

"Mommy, I want my cake to be 06. Because 06 is also 6!"

So I made it for you. 

Chocolate and some blue. 

Because your favorite color is blue.

Now Lance, let me tell you more about You.

My super love love Lancidoodle doo.

You like Roblox. We play Defense Depot.

You like Minecraft and building. Your favorite is Lego.

You like Chess, Penguin Trap, Snakes and Ladders, and Foosball.

But Pillow Fights make you the happiest, out of all.

"You are the best Jamie ever in the whole world.

I love you so much. I will never leave you."

"You are the best Sherick ever in the whole world.

I love you so much. I will never leave you."

"Daddy and Mommy, hug me and look at me."

"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for my mommy and daddy. 

Lord Jesus, please give me 1 million dogs. Amen."

You are the sweetest.

And the sweetest things you say every night,

Make us ever willing to look at you and hug you tight.

And Father's Days.

 They are not just for Daddy.

You also want us to celebrate you,

Because you are the Daddy of Sunny!

Now Math. You like Math.

"It's my specialty."

Drums and Piano,

Soccer and Taekwondo.

Korean Tteokbokki. Lumpiang Shanghai. Potato Chips. 

And anything spicy. 

You are funny. You like to dance. And your dance is funny.

You are the best Lance Oliver in the whole world. I love you so much, more than you'll ever know. 

And I will never leave you.

Love,

Mommy
