FOR ANTHONY

For my child i thank the stars. For his life i thank the Earth and all of it's wonders.
And to my amazing son, Anthony.....

As you have grown from a tiny baby into a wonderful young man, you have taught me as much about love as i have you. When you were born and they took you away to warm you and make sure you were going to be OK, i was so very afraid. Your birth was so difficult, your tiny body cold and blue, taught me just how fragile our existence is. In the night when i would hold you, I would dream of the man you would grow to be. All of the opportunities waiting for you, all of the fun you will have. All of those dreams pale in comparison to the endless love i have for you! And now for the first time we will be apart..but my son i hope you realize that we are in each others hearts. I will never love you less.. just because we are apart. You will always be right next to me, we never really part. I am sure this will be scary..this move you did not choose to make..but i am right here my child this bond can never break! So if you are sad or lonely...or just wish i were around, Remember hugs and kisses... and that ill always be around.
