Dancing to Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman

I searched for the perfect song to dance with my baby boy to and this is what I found. I did very well through the song, it was just the two of us, but I cried during the whole ceramony.

A mothers song

Tying little shoe laces

wiping off dirty faces

Are just a couple of things

That a mother will do

Mending a broken heart

Is only a part

Of the care and the love

That I've given you

With a Koolaid smile

an a sparkle in your eyes

I wrap you in my arms

and whisper this advice

Be strong, be kind

Be patient and in time

you'll find out, my son

what true love is all about

Be faithful and be true

Show love in all you do

Then you'll know, just how

you make your mother proud

Now, little boy days have passed

and you've grown up so fast

But in my heart

that little boy will never be far

So on this blessed day

theres so much i want to sa

but above all, I thank God

for the man that you are

With a tender smile

and a twinkle in your eyes

I wrap you in my arms

and whisper thi advice

Be strong, be kind

be patient and in time

You'll find out, my son

What true love is all about

Be faithful and be true

Show love in all you do

Then you'll know, just how

you make your mother proud

You've made your mother so proud

I thought this song was perfect and it sums it all up. My darling boy, I am so proud of the man you have become. I love you always.

My First Born

Your very first picture. I was in labor for 48 hours before you finally decided to come out and join us. Your papa nicknamed you ET that day. You taught me so much. Mostly you showed me how much one person could love someone. You spent your first Christmas and New Years in the hospital, we would spend lots on times in a hospital. I love that has you grew into this tiny 8 year old, I never got a chance to ask the doctors questions, because you were always ahead of me asking them. They were never allowed to touch you until they explained it all to you. I loved that.

My Wedding to Paul Ray

Your first cruise



Middle school band

You and Kyle at Band Night

So Handsome

You changed out of your Band uniform so that you could escort Devan at the homecoming game.

Me and You at one of the many band competitions. I miss watching you march and going to Friday night football games.

You were never a hunter, but it is a cute picture.

You met him on the first cruise, he was from NY and his mother actually put him on a train to our house fora week and wanted to know when you could visit, sorry I dont think so.

Your second cruise

We took the train to Miami, WHAT were we thinking!

I made this poster for the parade, they changed the time and I didn't make it, remember.

One of my favorite pictures.

Your first place

Larry Brandon, I am so proud of the man you have become. I am honored to be your mom. Over the years you have provided me with many laughs, tears, frustration and joy, that I will treasure always. As you start a new begining always know that my love will go with you. I am so happy for your and Lyndsey.

All my love,

Mom
