Dear, Landon
Your Dad and I met what seems like only yesterday, but really it was 17 years ago!! We were only 12 years old, we were young!! We hit it off instantly, we fast became best friends. We went to rival middle schools and High schools, but managed to see each other just about every weekend. I was pretty boy crazy in those days, and your dad was crazy about me. He would call me just about everyday and ask me to be in girlfriend, but his timing was always off! Your dad was very prescient ! I bet that’s why you NEVER take NO for an answer!!!

He would call me just about everyday and ask me to be in girlfriend, but his timing was always off! Your dad was very prescient ! I bet that’s why you NEVER take NO for an answer!!!
It wasn’t until 2 years later, That I saw your dad differently, we were still so young only 15. I remember that day so vividly, he was standing at the concession stand at the baseball field, in his cute little baseball uniform. I walked up to him and asked for a hug, that moment, that hug changed everything and started our life down a path God had planed for us! I knew that, that hug was different I knew I wanted your dad to be mine!!! BUT this time it was me that had bad timing, this time your dad had a girlfriend and she was my friend. Of course I couldn’t let a boy come between a friendship, so I asked your dad to call me when they broke up!! HAHA!!! He dad called me the next day!!!! Boy that was FAST huh? I remember the day he asked me to be his girlfriend May 7Th 1997. From that day forward Landon, your dad and I have been inseparable. Birthdays , Proms, Christmas, Death's and Heartache you name it we have been through it! Not many people are lucky enough to marry there soul mate Landon, But I was!
I hope that someday you know a love like your dad and mine. I hope a sweet little girl comes and captures your heart and holds it and protects it tight. You my sweet baby boy are someones knight in shining armor. Just like your dad is mine!
I Love You Infinity,
Mom
