Many years ago, when my son was just a little boy, he gave me a gift at Christmas that will always stand out in my mind as a priceless one. We didn’t have a lot of money and I was very worried about how to even make ends meet at that time in my life.
He came to me with a box and a smile. He had found a lot of pictures of himself that we had taken over the years…..memories we’d made……….. and he glued them on the box and made a “picture box” for my Christmas gift. He said “Mama, we don’t have a lot of money but we have a lot of love.” This came from a little man that was about 10 years old at the time. It just melted my heart and I have treasured it and will treasure it always. It was such a BIG gift from such a little boy!!
This morning at 5:21am, I got a call from London. It was my son, telling me that he’d be at the airport at 2:45pm today! His tour in Afghanistan is over and he’s coming home. Again, a moment in time in which I will always treasure from that same, now grown, man…………..one that I adore…. my son!
Thank you Lord for protecting him and bringing him home to me……. for his light and his smile……. I love you Tyler.
