Although Brooks does not express his gratitude verbally for the 12 hours of labor, the sacrifice of all things dairy, and the countless hours of loss sleep, he does say thank you with the beautiful smile he shares with me every morning, evening, and hours in between that say I love you.

God – thank you for the most wonderful gift I could have ever hoped for or imagined. He is a perfect example of the love you bestow on your children.

Little Man – I love you.
