I remember it like it was yesterday, and can’t believe it’s been four years. I’ll never forget the text from my brother (one I’ll always save for you) I got the day before you were born. Not that I needed the reminder, but it’s what I prayed for you that day, every day since, and will continue to everyday. 
We headed to Parkwest around 5am to be induced at 7. Everyone told me it’d take forever, maybe even go into the next day. I was so so excited, nervous, and anxious. I definitely wasn’t looking forward to this taking forever, but I was so ready to meet you. In typical Luke fashion, we met you at 1:28pm, and you’ve not slowed down since! The moment I held you and locked eyes with you, I knew what my purpose was in this life. I changed for the better that day. I’ve learned what unconditional love is.
You are so loving, so smart, so strong, so energetic, so funny, so independent, and march to the beat of your own drum. Don’t ever change.
You already care so much about others You want to pray for family and friends if they’re sick, keep doing this. Always put the Lord first. Be kind to everyone you meet, this will get you further in life than anything.
Don’t ever get to old to play with my hair or call me momma. Always be sweet to your brother and stick up for him. Keep asking daddy to play ball and “watch this”. Most importantly, keep being you. You’re all boy and I LOVE it. Never stop having fun (but you can be a little more careful)!
​
I still can’t believe you’re already four! I wish time would slow down, but it won’t. I look forward to all the memories we will continue to make and to watching you grow (but not too quickly please). I’ll always be here for you and you’ll always be my baby boy. I love you more Luke Major, and I win this one. Sorry!
Ps…our deal was that when you turned four (tomorrow) you’d start sleeping in your bed, but you don’t have to. You can sleep in ours as long as you want sweet boy.
Thank you for making me a better person, for challenging me, and for loving me. There’s no greater reward than being your mom. I don’t remember what we did with our time before you and Brody and I never want to. 😘😘
