The big brother

I have learned so much in my 12 years being Sam's mom. Lessons that have not always come easy but so worth it. He is, and always has been, a constant source of energy. We have so many things in common. Both nightowls, quick to anger and even quicker to see the error of our ways (okay, maybe I'm not always that quick), he already shares a love for running and when there's a sad movie..pass us the tissue cause we're the cry babies in the family. He cried the day we told him he was going to have a third sister.
I can't imagine him without his sidekick now. He adores the girls and can even become a bit irritating to them in his quest for hugs and snuggles. In the past few months we've had more time together than we've had in years. I honestly could not be more thankful. I have loved every minute of our time and I feel so blessed that we have the opportunity to learn and grow together. 12 years ago, he made me a mama and I count that as one of my most treasured blessings!
