I LOVE Me Some Him!

God blessed me with an AMAZING gift. His name is Timothy Isaac Lewis Huff. Or, as I affectionately call him, “Sir Isaac.” My son, who turns 7 years old next month, is such a compassionate, thoughtful, loving, scholarly, creative and talented young man. He is full of life. He is an people magnet (everyone gravitates toward him the minute the enters a room). He is my twin. Sometimes, I just stare at him as he sleeps tightly wrapped up in his Spider-Man blanket. And, I think to myself, “Wow…. this little angel is mine!”

Sir Isaac is such an entertainer. The late and great Michael Jackson is his favorite artist. And, when Mj’s music starts blaring from the radio speakers…. watch out! You’re sure to see some fancy footwork from “The Prince of Dance.” LOL…. I love it! I have him on video showcasing his skills.

My son is very in tune with his feelings and that of others. The caring-natured person that he is, Sir Isaac will comfort you and remind you that “everything is going to be all right.” There have been times that I felt sad, but not for long, because my son would come to me, rub my back and tell me that he loves me and not to worry. How could I stay sad after that?!

When I look at my son Sir Isaac, I see so much and I know that he can be so much in life. I published a children's book in honor of my son entitled, "When I Look at You." It reads, "When I look at you, there is so much I see…. Like a judge who rules in the name of justice and equality. An eye doctor who helps people to see better. A meteorologist who tells people about the weather…."

My son wakes up EARLY. If I’m sleep, Sir Isaac wakes me up as well. I don’t mind because his greeting is so sweet: “Good Morning Mommy!” I quickly reply, “Good Morning Son!” Then, I grab him, hug him tight and give him lots of kisses. This causes him to smile. Oh, and what a smile he has. He gets his warming smile honestly!

Sir Isaac is a willing helper around the house. He helps to wash the dishes, sweep the floor, take out the garbage, clean the mirrors and iron his clothes. He is very independent in this way. It let’s me know that he’s going to do fine in life. That’s because he takes initiative. Being a go-getter is the name of the game and I am confident that my son will have his game ON LOCK!

I can go on and on about how I feel about my son. But to sum it all up, I proudly declare, “I LOVE me some him!”

Moms (and dads!)…. please show love to and thanksgiving for your sons. Brag about them. Celebrate them. Let them know they matter immensely. By doing so, you are empowering and building up a future leader and world changer. I’m doing that NOW with Sir Isaac!

Until I write you next…. I’m just living the solo mommy life.

Love ya!
