Jackson and I snuggled in his bed tonight talking like we do on a lot of nights. Our conversation turned to him listing the top three things he likes about me. Here is what he said:
Number 3 (yes, he was clear that he started from the bottom!) -
"You make really good birthday parties."
Number 2
"You always tell me the truth. When I ask you about something, you tell me the truth."
Number 1
"You love me no matter what I do."
Wow. I couldn't have anything better said about me -- EVER. I knew that I had to record this conversation because his words mean so much to me.
Jackson, you are exactly right. I will always be your truth. And, I will always love you no matter what - in the good times and the bad. It doesn't matter what goes on in your life -- I will always love you. And, I'm so glad that you love your birthday parties. I love making them special for you, because you are very special to me. I am a very blessed person because God made me your mom. I tell you that you are my favorite little boy in the entire world, and you will always be my favorite little boy. I love you!
