SEVEN today.

Matt_1 This kid. Seven years old today. Impossible to take a decent picture of sometimes. :)

He’s amazing. Wonderful. Incredible. I’m so lucky to be a part of his life.

Cool thing. Every year, starting the day he was born, we had the first flower of the year, a daffodil, bloom on his birthday. It always felt so special, like nature was giving me an extra blessing on this day. Like somehow Nature was celebrating along with us at what a cool thing he is.

So today, some friends dropped by, and for no particular reason, gave me these:

Daffodils_3

I think that is so cool. Such an awesome coincidence. Because daffodils will always remind me of Matthew. Of how special he is. Of how even nature celebrates his presence.
