Seven

Happy 7th birthday to my thoughtful, tenderhearted and spirited child, Aidan Cooper Chan!!  

I am so proud to be your mommy.  You really do live up to the meaning of your name as the "little fire".  But despite your rough and tumble exterior, I also see the sweet, gentle and sensitive side of you that not many people get to see.  

Just the other day, I was feeling quite sick and you came into my room and tucked me into bed by reading me my favourite story about a dog named "Balto".  You kissed me goodnight then as you were about to close the door, you bid me farewell by saying:  "I hope that made you feel better.  Good night, mom, don't let the bed bug bites".

As I drifted off to sleep, I prayed and thanked God for placing such a special little boy into my life.  xoxo,  Mommy
