A Decade of Love

10 years ago today I was as happy as I have ever been in my life. Cloud nine, no doubt about it. I could not believe my luck, a true gift from God.

Here we are 10 years later, and Aidan's birth is still as fresh in my mind as if it happened today. I remember how scared I was when first heard him cry in the delivery room, and how I could not control my emotions. I remember looking at his mother, who had been in labor for so long, and thinking to myself how absolutely beautiful she was. Vivid pictures and feelings that I hope will remain just as fresh for the remainder of my life.

Aidan has molded himself into a fine young man. His mother and I have done a wonderful job with him if I do say so myself. Handsome, smart, polite, respectful, and courteous. Everything you could want in a child. We are very lucky.

10 years seems like a long time, but really, it isn't. Just a blip when you have kids. Squeeze them every day like it's your last, and remember what is important in life.

Happy Birthday Aidan...I love you.
