You have achieved childhood milestones according to textbook, yet there is nothing average about you. You are an extraordinary boy. A boy whose spirit shouts. A boy whose enthusiasm can not sit still. A boy whose ideas climb mountains. A boy whose thoughts find their own journey. A boy whose emotions change the weather.
You are growing into your body. You are growing into your emotions. You are growing into your soul. I see the struggle. I see the triumph. I see the amazing results in progress.
Today is your birthday, but the honor of being your mommy is a gift I open daily.
Happy birthday. I love you wildly.
MommyDear Ryan,
Today you turn seven. That seems like a lot to me. That seems like a very big number to assign to the years you have been mine. You are my first. You were my only for a brief time. You have been my greatest joy. You have been my biggest challenge. I have been told if your energy can be harnessed for good, you will change the world. You have already changed mine.

Oh, these things make me cry!!! And, you got me when I’m hormonal!
what a sweet, sweet letter.
Makes me all melty inside. I wish I had known it was Ryan’s bday today…I would have told him happy bday at the other party we were at together! 🙂 HAPPY BDAY RYAN!!!
Ah, how sweet. Happy Birthday, Ryan!
This was so touching. *sniff* (grabs tissue…)
Enjoy the day!
Happy Birthday!
Please save that post for Ryan to enjoy when he is older–it’s so sweet!
Happy Birthday Ryan!
“the gift I open daily” – well said. Though I’m not sure I can share your sentiment, at least for my own children. Not until I digest my morning coffee. Before the caffeine fix, they are just glaringly noisy heralds of day…more like roosters than gifts.
That was so sweet. I think we should all write letters to our children.
what a perfect letter. have a great day.
