It's hard to believe.
I have watched this young boy grow from a talkative, energetic toddler into an athletic, intelligent, respectful young man.
This boy, this piece of my heart. He's my step-son.
The step-mom/step-son relationship is an interesting, unique {and often times, awkward} pair.
While I feel like a mom to this boy, I am not. While I love him like he is my own, he is not.
But he is.
I rejoice in his accomplishments. I mourn at his heart ache. I encourage him in his walk with Christ. I pray with and for him on a daily basis.
As if he were my own.
Only God could design a relationship like this.
I woke up this morning and could not believe my boy was ten years old. I could not believe that eight years had passed since I first met him.
My mind played through the memories like a movie. My heart swelled with the love and pride and joy I feel for him.
I feel so blessed to celebrate this birthday {and every other day} with this special boy. My boy.
Happy Birthday, Victor! I love you!
