Today 19 years ago I gave birth to the most beautiful child. He smiled within hours of coming into the world. Unsure if his smiles were intentional back then, I watched him try so hard to produce them as a tiny infant. He would follow my voice and the corners of his mouth would rise up and form a tiny smile as if to say, "I hear you, MaMa". I feel such deep gratitude that I can still see that smile. It is the very look from so many years ago. I adore celebrating Tom's birthday. I revel in the chance to rejoice in all the time he and I have had together. He is so much more than my imagination conjured him to be.
Happy Birthday, Tom. Today, like every day, you are my heart.
