Parker

How is it possible to love someone You've never even met?

Haven't heard their voice or seen them smile

Yet you can't possibly seem to forget? How can it be You feel heartfelt love

Even though you're quite far apart?

It's because of your son who Makes sure you know

That you're both living inside his heart!

Because whenever your child is happy

You know nothing else takes that place... Regardless you haven't spoken yet or gazed upon their face.

Your son, who has a difficult time making you fully aware

How happy he is just being with you

And how intensely both of you care.

Then there's the bonus of a sweet little girl

In a moment you happen to realize..

That she'll be in your life for years to come,

Joyful tears start to pool in your eyes.

Love makes a family not blood is my phrase

I drilled into my boys from the start

It makes no difference the blood in our veins

It's the love that's in our heart.

From what I have heard and what little I've seen

You'll make an amazing wife

And through it all our family just grows

How blessed are we with this life!

Parker, I hope that the time comes sooner than not

And we FINALLY meet one day

Until that time, please remember the words

That my boys and I always say:

"Love makes a family, not blood,"(that's so true)

Plus "We live in each other's heart"

"Steps belong ON a house, NOT in a family,"

And "I've loved you right from the start!"
