Firsts

There are many firsts in a person life
starting with the day you were born
for an infants life there is the first smile,
first time you sit up, have solid foods,sleep through the night
first time you crawl, the first time you walk, talk, and
of course your first birthday!

Today marks one of my great nephew's first birthday! This is special
because he arriving in this world was a miracle. I don't get to see him
in person as often as I would like to, but his Nana sends me photos and videos
to watch so I don't feel as if I have missed that many of his firsts!

hard to believe how fast a year flies by. Seven days from now
my baby ( my son) will reach a first of his own, He will be 18!
and as I write this It reminds me of what a miracle he was arriving into
this world and (my sister, my great nephew's Nana was there to share that with me)

Each of these boys will have many more "Firsts" in their lives
earlier this morning I was looking at a photo album and I came across photos
of my son's 1st birthday we had it in a park. I have a photo of my nephew Brian
holding my son, a few months after his son was born he took a photo of my son
holding his son so it is kind of full circle in a way.
the other similarity is that my great nephew is having his first birthday at a park.

I have a great feeling that these two are more than just cousins I believe they are kindred spirits.
