You amaze me every day, with all the new things you learn and everything you show me. I enjoy watching you turn into the little person that you are. I think the same when if come to your unborn brother or sister. I wonder what kind of person they will be just like I thought about you. Then I think to myself, how could anyone want to leave this and not be a part of this every day? That is what happened to me. My mother left my brothers and me when we were very young. I was four years old, my younger brother was one and my older brother was eleven. My father raised us, with help from my grandparents, for the next four years.
