April 6th, the day I became a Mom, and the day Jack Mason arrived in the world and stole my heart. From the moment I meant him, 14 years ago, he's captivated me, challenged me to be better, and forged the way of the first born on my Mama heart.
As he turns 14, he's mature far beyond his years, brilliant to a degree I'm not sure I can fully comprehend, and I enjoy his company more than I'll ever find words for. He runs an intense schedule, always prepared for the day ahead, always up for the challenge, and so damn responsible. He's hilarious, determined, joyful, a keen observer of the world, giving, loving, phenomenal.
I am beaming with joy for the young man he is becoming, and that he navigates this world with kindness above all, for everyone in his life, and is learning the power he holds in his core day by day. Thank you universe, for blessing me with my Jack.
I wrote this on his 10th birthday. Nailed it.... "The beautiful journey he has brought me on as a Mother will never be truly defined. It will continue to grow and take my breath away. All I can do is hope that he understands the depth of my love, how incredibly proud and awe stricken I am of his grace and kindness towards others; that he takes our deep conversations with him in his heart and continues to bear his soul to me when he needs me. Jack’s big blue eyes sparkle, and tell you everything you need to know about how he is feeling in an instant. I look at him and see the eyes of my child staring back and they ground me. At times I see the baby he once was, and other times, the man he will grow to be. We march with the beat of time, mother and son, and I’ll turn to him as he spreads his wings to soar, look in those blue eyes, and know how to be the best Mom through decade two. Jack will teach me this. "
