How has a whole year already passed us by? A year filled with struggle, and sleeplessness, and adventure, and joy. So much joy.
Your smile can light up a room, my little lion man, and you certainly have your father's charm. As well as his dreamy, blue eyes. They perfectly compliment your kind face and your strong, broad shoulders.
It's safe to say that you stole our hearts from the moment you entered this world, but that love has only grown more love as the months have stretched on. The way you are ever the inquirer. The way you watch your daddy's every move, and want to be a part of his world. The way that you laugh at your big sister and patiently endure her antics. The way that you only have eyes for your mama--at least for now.
We are praying for you, dear boy. That the Lord, Jesus would cause you to know and love Him. That you might be a man of courage and conviction. That you would live in a manner worthy of your calling. And, though I dread the thought, that you might patiently wait for a girl to come along who loves Jesus and will faithfully serve along side you in the work of the gospel.
Happy Birthday sweet Gabriel. You are a precious gift from God.
