To my little guy with "bluesicle" eyes and hair streaked with glimmers of sun...It's just me and you this week, little man. Your poppa is somewhere in Alabama working. I write you lots of letters and save them for you to read when you grow up, but I felt like putting one on my blog for you tonight.
Do you know how much joy you've brought to my life? You are not my blood, but is that really what makes a mother-son relationship so special anyway? I think not. For you see, the moment I laid eyes on you when you were hours old, you had me. I was gone, lost, in love... at first sight. You wrapped yourself around my heart and have been holding on tight for almost three years now. How can such a small package carry such a mighty gift? But you did, and you've given me such wonderful gifts of joy and happiness since I brought you home from the hospital.
We got to take you to Disney for the first time this past week. Seeing your eyes light up at the wonder and magic of it all was like reliving my childhood again. You were so full of life and wanted to see and try everything. I kept tearing up throughout the days at the parks because I couldn't help but think of what your life might have been like if you hadn't gotten to be my baby. It is my privilege and pleasure everyday to provide the fun things in life for you. I love the fact that you got a chance at a great life. Not that I'm anything special, but always know that until I draw my last breath, I will always try to give you the best life has to offer.
The road won't always be straight and decisions to make down the road will be anything but easy, but always know that I'm in your corner and will always believe in you and whatever you attempt in life.
I love our "conversations" that we have and the way your mind is always thinking and trying to figure things out. You're getting so independent and that's what makes those bedtime snuggles all the more special. I don't know why I've been blessed with such a special little guy like you, but I'm thankful everyday for you, my special gift.
May you always feel unconditional love from me and know that I will do my best to make as many dreams come true for you as I can. You are my angel...my little piece of heaven...my little "Gent-man".
Mommie loves you, man!

Mel, I love this!!! Funny that you should write this tonight. Just before Dad went to bed I was talking to him about Gentry--how much I love him and that I wouldn't trade him for 10 blood-related grandsons! That I couldn't possibly love him more if you had given birth to him. I, too, fell in love with him from the first moment I held him, at four days old! I loved my time with him today! He is such a dear, sweet little boy! I love his every expression and love watching his thoughts as they tumble around in that little blonde head! Love the new sentences which come out and make us laugh. I love everything about this beautiful little boy with a huge heart! We are so blessed to call him our own grandson!
Love you!
Mom
TEARS!! You are such a GREAT mom and Gentry is so very lucky to have you in his life. Isn't it wonderful to be a mom. What life would be like without our little miracles. I love Gentry to death and everytime yall come home, I can't wait to pick him up and give him a big ol' hug and kiss. Miss yall dearly and can't wait to see you both.
Love ya girl!!
