My dear, sweet Bowen
I will continue to tell you what a joy you are to have in our family. You and Bryce and mom and dad came to Florida just before Easter this year. Had to wait until mommy was done with her chemo. The year before you came near St. Patrick’s Day, and you left coins everywhere and just absolutely loved doing it. this year you were disappointed it wasn’t St. Patrick’s Day, but your mom said you could hide Easter eggs. So you were so excited about that, I had a bunch of Easter eggs and candy and you had a ball hiding in different places. You guys rode home with us this year from Florida. It was so nice to have the company.
We have been going to your soccer games since we come back, and I have to tell you, but after every game, you always give me a hug. You are never embarrassed, and it makes me feel so happy to have such a nice relationship with you. I really don’t think much could embarrass you because you can do everything.. And you are so well-rounded. This week we get to go to your band concert, you played the trumpet. And you are so excited about your concert. And I just get excited to see how much fun you have.
Four weeks ago your mom had her double mastectomy. My heart aches for her. If I could take it from her, I would in a heartbeat. When she came home from the hospital, she had four drains, and could not lay in bed. She had to sleep in a recliner. So, you slept on the couch to be near her in case she needed anything. Even as I type this, it makes me tear up to tell about such compasssion you have. It certainly has been a hard road for your mama. But she does her best to not let you see what she’s going through.
Remember, I am always here for you and will do everything I can because I love you more than life
Xxoo
