“Whatever it is that you came to teach me
I am here to learn it ’cause I believe that we are written in the stars
I don’t know what the future holds but I’m living in the moment
And I’m thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are“
When you think of Valentine’s day you think of love, chocolates, roses and teddy bears. When I think of Valentine’s day, I think of love too. The love of my life. The one who makes me smile, gives me reason to be a better person and the greatest Valentine’s gift I have ever received. 18 years ago today I was in labor with this beautiful baby boy. I was young and scared and in pain. I had no idea he would change my life forever.
I remember when his born the first words his father said to me, “he looks just like you… he’s crying!” Lol Hey, what can I say, pregnancy messes with a woman’s hormones! I remember feeling relieved that the labor and the wait was over. I remember the first time he was placed in my arms and being overwhelmed with the amazing gift of love like I had never known before.
People tell you time and time again to enjoy the moments because life goes by so fast. You say, “oh yeah! I know!” But then one day you wake up and wonder where in the heck did all those years go?? They really do sneak by when you’re not looking.
I still can’t believe my baby is 18 today. As much as it scares me that he is officially an adult today, I’m proud of the man he is becoming. I know this is just the beginning of the next phase of his life. I know nothing will really change overnight. He will always be my baby boy, my pooky bear and my beautiful surprise.
My song for him since the first time I heard it has been Beautiful Surprise. Plus a love of India Arie’s music is something we share. So happy Valentine’s day to all and happy birthday to my little Romeo, my favorite Valentine, my Pooky bear and my beautiful surprise.

Lyrics to Beautiful Surprise found on goggle play
It’s like yesterday I didn’t even know your name
Now today you’re always on my mind
I never could have predicted that I’d feel this way
You are a beautiful surprise
Intoxicated every time I hear your voice
You’ve got me on a natural high
It’s almost like I didn’t even have a choice
You are a beautiful surprise
Whatever it is that you came to teach me
I am here to learn it ’cause I believe that we are written in the stars
I don’t know what the future holds but I’m living in the moment
And I’m thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are
You are everything I ask for in my prayers
So I know my angels brought you to my life
Your energy is healing to my soul, you are a beautiful surprise
You are an inspiration to my life, you are the reason why I smile
You are a beautiful surprise
