Now I Am Six

Happy, happy birthday to my wonderful, sweet, amazing, loving, kind, adorable little Bradley Shawn, who turned 6 on December 23. How grateful I am to have such an amazing son. He has been a true blessing in our lives.



I remember well the day he was born, the many, many hours of labor through the night before, and the joy I felt when he was first placed in my arms. Bradley gave us all a little scare, not breathing for a few minutes after his arrival. The NICU team came rushing in, and soon all was well. I'll never forget seeing him after his first bath, when the nurse brought him to me in a stocking -- he was the best Christmas gift I've ever received.

Bradley, I love you with all my heart. I am so thankful to a loving, kind Heavenly Father for sending you to bless our family. I love your smiles, your hugs and kisses, and your sweet dispostion. I love the funny things you say and how you keep us laughing. I love that you are the sweetest brother and that you care so deeply about the feelings of others.

I'm thankful for 6 wonderful years with you, and I look forward to eternity.

Since Bradley's birthday came during our trip to Georgia, he got to have a party with all of his cousins and other family members at Chuck E. Cheese. I think he had a blast.

Cool, a train!

Happy birthday to the cutest, sweetest, funniest, most amazing Bradley ever!!!!! I love you, son!
