Head over heels

I came across a book dedication and it moved me to tears. It's simple, but unique. It is the sort of thing I wish I had written, but I didn't. So, the fourth best thing to do is copy and paste it here. Everyday I find myself falling more and more in love with my boys. I can't help it and I know I'm not the only one. Sigh.

Thank you for choosing me to mother you. Thank you for sneaking in through my window and saying "Boo! Here I am!" Thank you for stirring and purring and screaming and crying and laughing and talking and standing and jumping. You are my exclamation point in a world of dot-dot-dots. You are my star in a sky muted by city lights. You are my sun. My son. My sun.
-Rebecca Woolf, "Rockabye: From Wild to Child"

Thank you. They love them some Dammo and Twacie, too.
