#3

Wow, another year has gone by. It seems like time goes by faster and faster every day.
You are three years old today and I can't believe it. I remember the day I met you like it was yesterday; your gorgeous brown eyes and your mother's smile. You were too young to know what was going on, but you still seemed so aware of everything. Of course, I was instantly in love.
Since that day, I have watched you grow and learn and mature, and I have fallen even more in love with you. Watching you grow had been a blessing of the greatest kind. I have learned things from you that I never could have foreseen myself ever knowing, and you have taught me many of life's greatest lessons. You are my hero and you make me proud every single day.
I know that you will do great things with your life, and I will be here for you every step of the way, I promise you that. You are one of my favorite people, and you always will be. I hope to be able to celebrate this day with you for years and years to come.
Happy birthday, Wes.

All of my love, forever and always,
Ash
