Happy Birthday Braden

Braden:
• I can’t believe today you turn 5!
• I love you buddy!
• Hearing you say “dadda” was one of THE most awesome moments in my life.
• I pray daily for your salvation…the thing I want the most out of your life is for you to be in heaven with your mother and I.
• God has used you to teach me so much about HIS unconditional love.
• Seeing you smile ALWAYS makes me smile.
• I love going to ball games with you! I hope you never get tired of going to games with your ole dad!

I could go on and on. You have grown up so much…it seems like I just blinked and you are now five. I’m afraid to blink again…I know if I do you’ll be twelve, then graduating high school, then college…

I want you to know you’re incredible. And I know that I will make some mistakes as your dad; however, I hope you know that I will always…
• Love your mother.
• Love you.
• Beg God to give me wisdom on how to raise you.
• And tell you about Jesus.

Braden–Happy Birthday…you are a gift from God to your mother and I…and I will never take you for granted. You are an amazing son–God has an incredible plan for your life…and I can’t wait to see it unfold.
