Six

Happy birthday to a special boy who changed my life more than I could ever have imagined.  Can it really have been six years already?  These days my hands usually seem full but my arms often seem empty.  Many times I've wished that I could have held you longer and that you could have grown into a little boy so full of mischief like your brothers.  But I would never really wish you back to this world.  I rejoice in the fact that you didn't have to suffer long on this earth, and I long to be made whole just like you some day soon.  Happy birthday, David Elisha.  I'll never be the same because you lived.
