I waited for two years of marriage for you to conceive. You were finally born on August 6th! Joy overflowed within me, I thought I would burst! You have always been my pride and joy. Allah gave to me such a wonderful boy. I want you to be the best that you can. You are handsome, intelligent, polite, and kind. I bless you to have perfect health, much wealth, and true happiness to find.
Son... Always believe in your mind the very best, and you can stand up to all life's tests. For what a man thinks in his mind he actually becomes, True happiness resides within you, my precious son.
No matter where you go or what you do, Remember that I will always love you... I could not have imagined the love I would have for you, first born child in my arms.
To rock you, was to soothe my own wounds. You, who suffered while I retched my way out of childhood's ideas and ideals, my impatience with imperfection and not understanding this life's dance between chaos and serenity shadow and light. You are the apple fallen closest to the tree.
You, who are an absolute gift and the greatest love of my life, my son... Armand Ezra!
