Mine was at 9:38pm on this very day, nineteen years ago. In that minute, I counted ten fingers and ten toes. I gave him a name and he gave me so much more. It took just sixty seconds to realize that my life would never be the same.
I've learned a lot more over the last nineteen years. I've learned that he'll never have a bigger cheerleader or a harsher critic. No one will feel his pain more than I do, nor will anyone's heart swell larger than mine in his triumphs. No one will ever love him more.
To celebrate the day, we got to spend 180 minutes together. Each minute just as special as the first one I got to spend with him.
Happy Birthday, Hunter. Thank you for letting me share a moment of your day. And just know, I'm counting down the minutes until you come home!
