For Gabriel on his 5th birthday.



Gabe,
my boy.
My fierce, wild, wonderful, magical boy.
You are so strong, so soft, so beautiful.
Five years ago you came from me, wet, slippery, smooth and small.
I couldn't believe I had done it.
I had done it!
You were here.
I protected you, nourished you, loved you.
How you have grown.
You keep me on my toes; make sure I don't ever get too comfortable, too complacent.
Ever changing, ever growing.
Gabe,
my boy.
My fierce, wild, wonderful, magical boy.
I love you.
