Dear Gabriel,
Your mind is amazing to me lately. This last 6 months and for the next 6 months I am witnessing one of the most fascinating developments... getting to the accountability age.
Your understanding of right and wrong has sky-rocketed. Your ability to help me has done the same thing. Your ability to read, to understand, your mind working... they have all just sky-rocketed. It's all part of reaching the accountability age.
I have wanted to witness this since having children and I am soaking it up. Your ability to control your emotions, so understand how to handle situations, to see when there needs to be help. your ability to work... all of it.
It's amazing to see. The last 2 months you have insisted on wearing a suit to church, and you don't want a church bag anymore because you are "too old for it." You only want to bring a book of scripture to read and that's it. You are focusing on the scripture stories like crazy and you are just gobbling them up.
Your patience with your siblings has increased. Your awareness of how you can help me has doubled. This is a magic period of your life, and I hope you soak it in like crazy... and I want to do that same.
We are going to be getting to those ages that are going to be hard in the next 10 years. I just pray and hope that I can give you the foundations you need, with your dad, and then you can take it from there with the Lord's help.
I love you,
Your Mom
