Hunter,
I can't believe you're six!  When I met you six years ago, I fell head over heels.  I am honored to be able to call you my son.  I've loved watching you grow into yourself over these past six years.  Some of my favorite things about you are your compassion for others, your sensitivity, and your creativity.  I love to listen to you play excitedly with your toys...you have such a vivid imagination.  I love how much you love your brother and sister and how sweet you are to them.  You are such a great reader and writer, and I love to read all of the notes you write to us.  My hope is that you will look back on your childhood and be assured of our love for you and of God's love for you.  As our birthday book says, there's no one like you, buddy, and there never will be again.  You truely are fearfully and wonderfully made...
