Hello my growing nephew.Happy happy birthday big boy. It was a year ago that you said hello to the world outside. You made us wait a little longer, but it was all worth it.
I remember every moment of that day I first saw you. I remember your first cry hello. It was so tiny and soft, and didn’t last more than a minute. You were so quiet while I came for that visit.
I thought you were beautiful, so perfect in every way, so big and so brave.
I remember the first time you opened those eyes, I thought I saw my Papa looking at me all knowing and true.
I sure miss you very very much Ethan, every single day. I wish I got to visit with you, and your mommie and daddy, and Eli more than any thing. You are such a happy baby and such a big boy and strong. Little Hoss I hear them call you as I snicker in my head.
Remember my nephew, you will always be special, blessed, and loved. There will always be a special place in my heart, just for you. Because for some reason when I look into to your eyes I see a little bit of me. You have a good spirit and is protected by the fiercest love there is. Family and our Father’s love. I carry you with me in a picture in my head every day, so that even though we are not together physically, we are forever bound to each other spiritually.
Happy First Birthday little big man! I look forward to watching you grow! I love you!
Uncle Derek
