Caleb is 18!

Posted bycindyatkinson0516Posted inUncategorized

Eighteen years ago I was given the honor of being mama to one of God’s most unique creations. My heart. It melts every time he says, “I love you so much my mommy.”

It has been a journey. And sadly, there were times I forgot to trust in the Lord. There were times I felt actual despair. But the good Lord, in his goodness, drew near.

And God used those early years. They were not lost. They gave me so much compassion in my heart for others.

I have absolutely loved being Caleb’s mom. I love to make him laugh. I love it even more when he makes me laugh. I love that I can comfort him when no one else can. I love that I get him deeply. I love listening to him sing. I love that his two favorite songs are “10,000 reasons” and “the ABCs”. I love watching him meet people for the first time. And how he makes his way right to their hearts. I love watching him with his people. And there are many.

Happy birthday to our sweet Caleb! You are a joy to the hearts of all who know you! We have loved celebrating you for the last 2 days!
