This is a joyous post from the General Hysteria blog by Mia. Enjoy.
He’s the one who brought us together; the one who was the Best Man at our wedding; the one for whom our only wish was that would dance. He is my Angel. He is my Alex and today is his birthday.
The excitement that came with his birth has been overshadowed by none. The story behind him, the story with him, the story he writes each day of his life, the story that is his, he will willingly share with all those who ask, who wonder, who care. The life I see in his eyes show the curiosity, the sensitivity, the love and affection, the purity of his innocence, the glimpses of the thoughts we will never know, the silent if not softly spoken words that can never meet his lips.
If you are willing, he will profoundly open your eyes. Everything we miss, what we take for granted, the reminder that the little things are truly enormous. The flight of a plane. The gracefulness of metals clinging together, forcing themselves against the coldest of clouds, leaving their “footprints†in the sky. These airplanes, of all shapes, sizes and colors that fly above us. Sometimes they sound off from far away, bringing curious searching eyes to the skies looking for their display. “Look, do you see it? Do you see it?†pointing to the white streaks that mark the sky. The favor he affords you by ensuring you see this wonder above your head; don’t take it for granted, you’re letting it pass you by. It’s special. It’s enormous. See it through him. Yes, he will profoundly open your eyes.
