Ten years ago, I didn’t have this:
I most certainly didn’t have this or this:
I couldn’t have imagined the sound of his voice or the gait of his walk:
I couldn’t have guessed if he was a lefty or a righty:
I had no idea that he would have the biggest green eyes and he’d have freckles on his nose:
I tried to imagine him in a car seat or a crib, but I never dreamed that he’d be a man, among other men:
But I do know that because I got him, I also got him:
And also, because of him, I can haz cheezburger:
Goodbye, my darling 9 year old. I’m gonna miss you. I hope the 10 year old you that I will meet tomorrow morning is as awesome as the 9 year old was.
