I didnt really want a son, I always imagined I'd have three girls, which quickly changed to two girls once the first was born.
At 20 weeks, the scan said a girl, at 25 also a girl. At 35 weeks, suddenly, with a swish of the sonographers wand, there appeared a PENIS. Yes, I totally freaked.
And now, I would wish for a thousand Jareds, one for everyone who needed those cuddles, kisses and complete devotional and unconditional love.
I would be lost without him and I will let him know as often as I can that he has changed my life in such a wonderful way.
Today he is 4, about to start preschool, and yet still my little boy.
Happy Birthday Jared, you are loved more than you will ever know.

There is something in the tilt of his head - or the sparkle in his eyes - or the wistful expression on his face that puts me in mind of your dear mum. I just LOVE this shot!
