Six years old & perfect in every way

The Bugg turned six in May.

We celebrated the truly awesome, perfect & wonderful

boy that he is with a family outing.

A picnic, the Aquarium, & 

Leatherby's for a giant banana split.

 We had a blast.

No presents.  Just presence.

 Six.

Such a big boy.

There were many heart-breaking days for me

when he was a baby.

I was consumed with "what-ifs"

& questions about his unknown future.

But his smile & glow have been ever faithful.

Never has he let me down.

Always, always will he give me love.

Full of love, life, & joy.

This boy of mine still cannot say a single word.

Take a single step.

Or do anything for himself.

But!

He inspires me to be my best self.

To live more simply & joyfully.

To reach out to others.

To have gratitude for my blessings. 

 To have charity.

Bugg helps me to remember my Heavenly Father.

That we are all His children & He loves us so much.

Thanks, Bugg.  You are awesome.
