Happy 11th Birthday to my Matty Boy!!!

Here is a picture of my Matty boy (Matthew Jerick Richmond) on the day of his birth - April 7, 1999. Grammy is holding this little piece of love for the first time.

And here we are, exactly 11 years later, Grammy still holding her wonderful piece of love, this morning, before he went off to school, where he is a 5th grader.

The LOVE that I feel for this beautiful boy cannot be measured, look at him holding my hand, snuggling up to me. He's a boy who shows his love, hugs, not so many kisses anymore, but a boy with a beautiful smile, a silly giggle when something tickles him, and a boy who loves his family.

Our family is blessed to have him and it will be a joy to follow his journey in this game called life!!

My thought to leave with you today is: Joy, oh, Joy!!! The birth of a new baby brings a family to a new level of the wonder of life!

Until next time . . .
