Happy 8th Birthday Dominic!
8 years ago, my son Dominic came into our lives. He was 10 days late… and ended up being delivered via c-section since I already one. He is a delight and loves all kind of animals – small or big. Well almost all kinds…. check the video to see why I am saying this!
Love you buddy.
I pray that God be with you every day of your life. May you continue to follow him daily and learn to listen to him.
Love,
Maman
