Just to sit and look at how you have grown. Seeing this picture, can it be possible?  Is it real you are so grown now, married and on your own, awaiting the arrival of your first child?  Seems only yesterday you were a little boy asking for the one thing you always seemed to want. " A cookie "  How it seems those days are still here at times when you are near.  You were and are my surprise child.  Tho I could never love you any less.  What a beautiful surprise you have come to be and mean to me in my life.  Know today and always, I would not trade anything in life to have not been able to be your mother... I love you Ricky ......

Time passes too quickly, each day spent was very well spent with you. Learning to crawl, then to walk. OH how I remember the day you walked into the world to become a man.  The hours passed as I worried for my little son. How was I to know that he would become such a beautiful man in life, in the world.  Looking inside daily I see now, oh so very clear.  My life was made more complete by the man you have become. So enriched by the love you bring.  Walk in the world my son, look, see and feel..
