After reading my About Me, you should be aware how much my son means to me. A couple of years after Jacob was born, a friend of mine became pregnant and as I prepared for her baby shower, I found a card that touched me. Months after the baby shower, I thought about this card. So much so that I went back to the store where I had purchased it and bought one for myself. I didn't know what I would do with it, but just knew that I wanted to remember the inscription.
A year ago, I was packing to move into my new home, and Kristy (my sister) was in town helping me (and my mom for that matter) pack. She was there when I came across this card and I told her about how much it meant to me. What I didn't know was that she took the card and emailed the lines to herself so that she could use them sometime in the future. She made me this plaque, noted with this writing along with one of my favorite pictures of me and Jacob. It reads:
Someday
Someday, he'll be a big-time movie star
or a fifth-grade English teacher.
Someday, he'll marry, have a few kids.
Maybe not.
Someday, he'll change the world as we know it,
or maybe he'll travel,
send postcards from China, phone you from Paris.
Someday, he's going to be a big, strong man
able to carry you in his arms.
One day, he'll have his own hopes and dreams,
not knowing that once upon a quiet time,
you closed your eyes and made a wish
to one day have him in your life.
And so you can see, I cried. It touched me so much. Thank you, Kristy.
You're welcome!
