So here we are another year later and I havent even blogged for a year! SLACKER mom! I always do reflections of my children around their birthday and today after I wished David a happy birthday, I remember that I always do a reflection of their past year.
David has had a very rough year of trials. We have literally been through thick and thin. This year I noticed my heart get even more tender than I thought it could for my child. Knowing some of the things he has been through and some of the things he will have to deal with in the future.
He is such a tender hearted child and I hate that it has taken me a few years to learn how to help him deal and cope with the issues and troubles he has. With that said I found that I grew to love you more as a mom even though I didnt think that was possible either.
I heard recently that a mothe cant love an adopted child as much as she can a child she gave birth to herself. That is NOT true. My heart breaks for people who think that way and think you can never open your heart to a child who needs a loving home and family.
Now that David is eight. I am excited for his Baptism and to see him grow and learn more. He is learning how to read books that I remember reading as a child. I love watching him read and then understand what he has read as he re-tells me what he read. He is awesome at math! He keeps coming home with 100% on his math tests! What a smart kid! He has started scouts and is trying vey hard to pass off his Bobcat so he can be a Wolf. He was nervous at first but now I see the ambition he has to succeed in Cub Scouts and move up.
I love you David Frary. I am so glad you are my child. I am so glad you were entrusted to us and I am SO glad you are in our eternal family.
Love,
Mommy
