Jude Robert Fletcher

My baby boy...turning two? This little guy has taught me so much. Sometimes I look into his eyes and catch a glimpse of myself and I imgaine what my mama thought as she looked into my eyes all those years ago. Did she feel the kind of joy that I feel when Jude wraps his little hand into my hair, lays his head on my shoulder and puts his thumb in his mouth? Did her heart swell with pride for me as mine does for Jude as he masters yet another skill? Did I baffle her with my stubborness...frustrate her with my strong will as Jude is doing to me now? Did her heart melt as mine does now as I gaze at this sweet little boy who has so completely captured my heart? Did she know that someday her little girl would have two little ones of her own to pass her legacy of love on to?

It is such a joy and an immeasurable blessing to be Jude's Mama.

Happy Birthday my sweet boy. I love you.

Mercy, Peace and Love be yours in abundance. Jude 1:2
