Enter in: Joshua Lavon Webb.
This beautiful baby boy came into this world with a full head of black hair, big blue eyes and screaming. Weighing an incredible 9 lbs. 13 oz, the doc tells me "he's a big baby." Really? YOU'RE telling ME that? I was quite aware of that already, thank you very much. It's not long and this baby boy is placed in my arms. Not only is he big, he's absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I'd never seen a newborn baby so beautiful before. Don't get me wrong, Jessica was beautiful too, I couldn't take my eyes off her, but Josh was different. He wasn't wrinkly, bald and squinty eyed. I almost expected him to have little teeth already. He was "well" done. His dad and I stared in awe at this baby boy we had a part in creating together, because we well knew God is THE creator of all life. We couldn't believe our eyes, "he's perfect".

My son, my pride and joy, my perfect blessing from God. I'll never be able to express to you in words nor in actions just how much you mean to me, how much I love you. I know I haven't been a perfect mom, but you have been a perfect son. My heart and mind are filled with countless meaningful memories of each and every minute of your life. I thank God for all the times of fun, laughter, trips, school performances, holidays, birthdays, the list goes on and on that we have shared throughout the years. I pray for many many more years to watch you grow into manhood. I pray that God will use you in a mighty way. I chose the name Joshua for the Joshua of the Bible. I loved how God used him in a mighty way. I loved how God told him to be "Strong and Courageous" Joshua 1:6. That is what I want for you...to be strong and courageous in the Lord.
Happy Birthday my son. I love you! Mom
