That said, things change. Thanks to a most wonderful partner of about 14 years. When I met Michele I knew I wanted to be with her for the long haul if you will. so off we set on our adventure together. Approximatley 2 years later we started talking about trying to have a child together and that we did. Greyson was born on November 20th, 2000 weighing in at a whopping 10lbs. 4 ozs. C-sections are a wonderful thing in some cases...this was one of them. I can walk upright & somewhat normal today thanks to that moment. Not to sound all cheesy, but what a blessing both Greyson and Michele are to me. Being a mom to Greyson has offered me so much that words will never do the experience justice. I just pray I am offering him as much as he has offered, and continues to offer, me on a daily basis. The gifts being a mom have brought to me are imeasurable. Most importantly, Greyson has been teaching me so much. Listening is way more important than just hearing. And, as I said in the prior post, some of the most important things in life are to be experienced, not heard. I continue to struggle with this but I do know it to be true. with him around, I will not fail. I will not fail in finding the best in him and in myself. On top of that, I could not ask for a more supportive and helpful partner in our quest to assist this little guy on his life journey and ours. I think we make a hell of a team and complement each other well in our efforts to guide, love, and support Greyson. I made Michele a card today. To honor her as a mother, partner, and friend. You see, anyone can be a mother, but it takes someone really special and nurturing to become a mom. Biology doesn't make a mom...unconditional love, selflessness and dedication does. She may not have given birth to Greyson, but she shows him daily how much she loves him. thank you Boog for being the best mom our son could have. I love you dearly..."to the whole wide world". You are gift enough on such a special day.
