Love

I didn't know what else to title this post other than just "love."

It's what I feel for Cub Scout every moment of every day.

I love my little man more than words can express.  My heart aches with the love I have for him.  That's such a cliche, but it's so accurate.

I think I was meant to have a little boy and I am grateful.  Oh so grateful.  I never would have known that I could love a son THIS MUCH.

When I was pregnant I couldn't imagine having a son.  Now, I can't imagine not having one.  I can't picture myself with a daughter.  I love my little boy so much.  I want to give him a brother.

He is the most amazing little guy.  All smiles all the time.  He's laid back and happy all the time (except when he has to go to sleep).

He's a joy.  I relish every day I spend with him.  When I lie in bed and nurse him I never want him to grow up.  I know I will never again have that kind of closeness with him.  He's only going to get bigger and need his mommy less and less as the years go by.

I think about how he doesn't even have a clue how much I love him.  You can't know this kind of love until you have a child of your own.

This is the greatest love in the world.
