twelve

 I don't know how it happened, but my baby is 12 today.  It feels like yesterday that he was born...

My rainbow baby, the one who first called me mama...
My mom heart healed in so many ways when I first held you.
Ryder, you are a gift.  You are a courageous leader, a person with a strong sense of self awareness and a man of strong character.  You are funny and nurturing and caring and brave.  You are a fierce protector and  loyal friend. You now God's voice and watching you follow Him as your heart discerns his voice is such a gift to witness.  The world is a better place because you are in it.  We are so proud of you, not for what you do, but for who you are and what comes out of THAT place...
Happy Birthday little man. We love you to pieces...
