Published on Huffington Post on April 27, 2016
All three of my children are extraordinary.
They’re one-of-a-kind, amazing beings who’re beyond compare.
They’re my most precious gifts from God, and they’ve made my life as a Mom, rich.
Little Man is our middle child.
The only boy, sandwiched between two sisters.
His bubbly personality is such a joy to be around, and I pray that his sensitive, sweet side will always remain.
Thinking of him growing up is hard, so to savor all the beautiful traits I see in him today, I decided to write an inspirational letter to my son for later.
A Letter to my Son from Mom
My darling Little Man,
I thank God for the blessing you are in our lives.
You light up the room with your personality, with the beautiful person you are inside and out.
I pray that the LORD will use all the gifts and talents He has placed in you for His Glory.
As you grow older, may you continue to have an innocent heart, a mind open to learning, hands willing to serve, and love to share generously with those who are put across your path.
Not everyone is blessed with a gift to make people laugh. You have that gift.
May you always put a smile on the faces of the people you meet, and may you be that ray of sunshine for a burdened heart.
I love watching you around your sisters.
I pray you will always find the good in people and try to emulate the same.
Yes, the way you do when you see your big sister doing something wonderful.
May you always remember to share whatever you learn with others, remembering that we’re made richer when we give away.
I pray the LORD will hedge your ways and protect you always.
And when you go through difficult times in your life, always remember to look up.
Our God is Faithful and will ride that storm with you.
Trust Him.
Always know that we’ll always be your biggest cheerleaders.
Dada and Mama love you with all our hearts.
Your loving Mama always.
Such a sweet post. A great idea for your son to have.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful heart warming post! My daughter is my world and she is the one person that can always put a smile on my face, regardless of how horrible my day may be.
What a beautiful post. One day your son will look back on this and see your love for him commemorated forever in the blogosphere. Super cool.
This is a really sweet post. I love that your entire post was dedicated to your son. It’s so beautiful.
This is so precious and so full of mama love. What a dear and special prayer you gave for a wonderful boy.
Red is a wild child. His hair burns as bright as his spirit!
That gift to make people laugh is a wonderful thing. This was so touching.
My son has a heart of gold. He is so caring and loves his little sister to bits. He really is extraordinary.
I loved reading this. As a former school teacher I truly believe this, every kid has something that makes them sparkle. For my son, it is his quick smile and sweet heart. For my daughter it is her sass and smarts.
Your son sounds like a sweet little guy! You are so right, we are richer when we give then when we receive!
What a sweet post for your son. Every kid ios extraordinary you’re right. Great post!
What a sweet letter, it is so sweet to see things through a mothers eye. He sounds like such a sweet little blesssing!!!
How sweet! What a blessing you little boy truly is!

I also love your picture here! They tell a story of your sweet boy’s innocence.
Awe, how sweet. My little boy is also a one-of-a-kind. I love how he worries about me and watches out for me so much even though he is only 4 years old.
What a beautiful letter to your son! Both of my kids are so one-of-a-kind. I could go on about them for days, haha.
What a wonderful letter. It is a great keepsake for your son when he is older. Thanks for sharing with us.
Aww this is such a sweet letter and will be really great for him to read as he grows.
My son is a funny guy, that is one of his best qualities. He makes us smile everyday!
What a beautiful letter to your son.
What a beautiful letter to your son! He truly is extraordinary! As each child is!
What a sweet idea, I am going to start a journal for my son with letters in there for him to read daily.
What a sweet post! Looks like a ton of great memories being made too
Your son is a very lucky little man. This was the sweetest post.
What a wonderful post. So touching!
every time i read these posts i can’t help but get teary eyed.
This is so precious, kids are the best. It’s amazing to have kids and see them grow! 😉
It truly is a miracle to be able to watch them grow up!
Awe, what a heart-felt letter… I wrote a letter to each of my extraordinary kids when they were born and keep it in their baby book…
That’s great a gift! I’m sure when he grows up, he will be so thankful that you wrote this down!
I absolutely love this! You can save it for him when he’s older as well.
What a lovely letter! It’s great he’ll be able to look back and read this in later years.
Beautiful letter for a beautiful little boy…am sure he will treasure it all his life…..God bless him now and always in the years to come….and God bless you for being such a beautiful mother….and for having put to paper so beautifully the sentiments and emotions. …it moved me so.
Such a beautiful post to share with all of us. So special!
Your children are so blessed to have such a loving mom & dad. Your letter to your son is so touching.
My son & daughter are grown but I still send them notes to let them know how proud their father and I are of the good deeds they do. I am blessed with 2 granddaughters (sisters) that bring so much joy to our lives. I have been writing each of them short letters that I have been collecting to bind them and give each one a book of letters about them to read later in life.

I thank God for the son I prayed for too. My little man is such a blessing from above!
I feel the same way about all my kids. I love this letter to your son and I want to take the time to do something like this for all of my kids.
That is such a beautiful letter that it brought tears to my eyes! I’m not yet a mom and I’m still at the point where I’m not quite sure if I want kids, but if I ever do have kids in the future I’m sure I’ll have my own letters to write to/about them one day 🙂
This is too sweet! I am sure he will love to look back on this when he is an adult.
What an amazing post! So touching & a great memory!
Oh how sweet. This post is beautiful – I hope you’ll print it out and save it just in case something were to happen. You definitely need to share this with him when he is older, heart melting!
This was very touching and the pictures add to it, I even teared up. I love how you started it, I have 5 kids and it makes we want to write to them now.
What a sweet letter! You make me want to do something like this now for my kids. Write them each a letter, or blog post. Such a touching post.
What a sweet post. Beautiful. My girls are kind, old souls and that’s what makes them special to me!
What a wonderful letter to your son. He sounds like an amazing boy. You have a right to be proud.
What a sweet letter to your son. I have four children and believe they are all extraordinary in their own ways!
