I see this round pudgy baby, they place him in my arms. He weighed in at 9 pounds 6 ounces. He was absolutely perfect and made our family complete. It was decided at that moment that his name would be Lucas John. We had several names picked out, but that was the one - it was meant for him. His is the “bringer of light” as the bible says and he is just that - my light.
He was an easy baby, who loved following his big brother. They played so well together, despite some typical sibling rivalry. Lucas was energetic, playful, humourous and so very loving. He has always been my guy, my shadow. His emotions run deep and will share when he wants you to know how he is feeling. He is insecure in his skills without realizing he is beyond capable. When he was little I would swoop down and lift him with my arms and swing him around. He has grown so fast and now we are at this point. We are at the point where his arms reach above my shoulders to give me a hug. His voice is deep and there is a light shadow of a mustache on his lip. We are talking about getting his driving permit this week. I don’t really feel much older, but I see how grown he is and I know that I am. He continues to be this kind and compassionate soul, who is working to find his place. To this day, he continues to be my light, my baby and always here for me even when he doesn’t realize it. Happy birthday Lucas John! I love you, Mom

Just because your youngest is almost driving doesn't make you old at all. (insert giggle here)

Happy Birthday to Lucas! I love how him getting older does not correlate to your age. I totally agree with you!
