Goodbye 5

With much pain I'm allowing you to grow and be 6 even though in my heart I want you to stay young and 5 and sweet and never have to go through times of terrible growing pains of becoming a man. Since I cannot stop you, I vow to teach you every day to be a warrior for Christ, a man of valor, and a memorizer of scripture! Daddy and I struggle each night to challenge you and Abby to dare to be different, to strive toward greatness because of He that is with you, and to bravely face the culture with your "fight face" on! You are a precious, courageous, funny, wonderful boy and I enjoy every part of being your mommy.
