My son is absolutely a gift from God. I can not tell you how many times I feel as though I must of done something right in my life (like the song from the Sound of Music where Julie Andrews sings, "Somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must of done something good...") because God gave him to me. I tell him often that he is a gift from heaven, that God answered my prayers when He gave me you.
A couple of nights ago my son wrote in his journal. He writes exactly what's on his mind and on his heart. He told me it was okay to read his journal and I cried when I read his words. He wrote, "I say my mom is really, really, really love. I love my mom. I mean she is soooo very nice all the time." I know, I know, before you know it he will be a teenager, etc..., but for now I am soaking up the joy of my sweet boy.
Update on his Dream Speech. They had the second round Wednesday morning. He was the 1st to give his speech. He said he was glad to go 1st because then he didn't have to think any more about it. I was just dieing all day to hear if he had won. As I walked into his school the principle congratulated us on our son winning the second round! He will now go to the District Finals! He'll go up against 14 students total in his grade. We could not be prouder!!! We let him know before his speech that we were proud and just wanted him to try his best. When he told me he had won he said, "Mom, they liked my best!"

Oh Tam. You have done many many things right. My prayer is that Luke will always be able to tell you how much he loves you and always appreciate all you do for him and because of him. He is such a gift!
How great that his speech made it to the next rounds! Go Luke! I want to see the transcript of this speech! Good luck!
