i became a mother to one special little boy, finn oliver gerber,
and my life was changed forever.
i had no idea how my world would be turned completely upside down when he arrived,
but i also had no idea how much JOY he would bring to my life.
there are so many words to describe finn: kind, confident, bright, giving, loyal, gracious,
funny, articulate, inquisitive, patient, compassionate and the best big brother in the world!
i often wonder what i did to deserve him and i thank god every day for him.
tonight i am reminded of a song i listened to often when i was pregnant with finn.
it's an elton john song from his love songs album.
i listened to it often during my pregnancy and would daydream about the
little boy i would soon be holding in my arms.
the song is titled blessed and i felt it was almost written just for me.
the lyrics:
hey you, you're a child in my head
you haven't walked yet
your first words have yet to be said
but i swear you'll be blessed
i know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
or the bluest that I've ever seen
anyway you'll be blessed
and you, you'll be blessed
you'll have the best
i promise you that
i'll pick a star from the sky
pull your name from a hat
i promise you that,
promise you that,
promise you that
you'll be blessed
this song will forever be associated with my firstborn, my finn.
though i can't promise him the best in everything,
i can promise him a family that will always love him and support him.
yes, he is blessed... and our lives are blessed too.
happy birthday finn - our sweet 6 year old!
