Happy Birthday to you!
I can't believe that you're four years old now. How is it possible that the little baby I sang that night-night (little Ayden man)song to so many times might just be too big to rock in my arms again? Just like when Angelina turned one, this is the hardest day yet. All I can think of is--what kind of cake will you have for your party? I hope it's yummy but...will you even remember the times Grammy made you a special cake, for the first three birthdays?
I'm so happy that you don't forget me and your Pops when you're growing bigger, going to school, playing...we love it when you call us on the computer so we can see your happy, lively play times & enjoy showing you around the apartment and the neighborhood.
We love it when you call us on the way to school, and tell us what you're doing with Mom & Dad & Kitty Girl. We love to get all of the pictures that your Mommy & Daddy put on their facebook and show all of our students what a big boy you are. We were so happy when you went to Vacation Bible School, and hope that you will see more of the people who love you at the choir church...and remember the first time you went there & heard the amazing bagpipe music for Heritage Sunday.
There are so many "first" things to remember when you have a first grandbaby...but the most difficult first thing is happening today. It's the first time in four years that we won't be there to see you blow out your candles..and the saddest thing that's happened between us and our little Ayden man since the day you were born.
Pops and I sure do love you, and we sure do miss you more today than ever. Forgive us for not being there on your special day...and know that even on the other side of the world, we love you more than you can imagine.
Love,
Grammy
XOXOXO
