Since so many of you have been kind to my little boy over the years .Just sharing that he turned 5 today. He still gets cake all over his face( he might get that from me) Every year that passes I am met with a sadness but mostly a joy to watch as he reaches new goals and surpasses them with flying colours. he is indeed a typical little boy. filled with sweetness mostly, a little mischevious at times. His momma is so good with him. I am sure that is where the sweetness comes from. I am looking at a b-day gift given to me by my beautiful daughter. A photo album filled with pics of my children and wife. The one I am looking at now has Moonbeam smiling and little Neals hand carressing her face, and I believe he is saying "Ur beautiful mommy" Sometimes u may think ur life isnt all it should be..and then I look and see that I am blessed beyond measure. May all of the people here on the roo find.......a little hand on their face ..or a big one for that matter....as long as it makes you smile

SHALOM

There is nothing more precious that the love between parents and their children, anyone who didn't have that in this world has missed out on the one true beautiful love that never fades and I feel for them so much.
I was blessed to have a beautiful mum, and still have a wonderful dad, enjoy those moments, they become tender memories.

Lol, I think that that little cutie gets cake all over his face cause he can't gobble that yummy sugar food down fast enough!

It's amazing how quickly the time passes, isn't it? Just yesterday he was 2! That is an awesome birthday present she gave you...personal and sentimental, made with thoughtfulness, time and love. I can't imagine Where Neal would learn the word beautiful from! I can definitely see why he said it to Moonbeam. Sure seems like a tender, beautiful moment they shared.

Big hugs to you, Neal and your whole family!!

happy bd to him !

simple, you always get me in my heart.
Love to you and your precious family!

Give sweet litle Neal a Birthday Hug from me, Simple. And, thank you for the heart-warming post. There is nothing more beautiful than the smile of a child.

Thanks for sharing simple. You always have a way of making me appreciate the joys in life. I know what you mean, I get that feeling every time I hold my grandaughter in my arms and she gives me a big hug for Pappa.

You got me too Simple, you and Hh's post about her boys. I can't begin to understand everything a momma feels but I think daddies have their own special feelings too. I'm a rough and gruff kinda guy and sometimes I feel like I just don't quite get it...like being civilized doesn't come as naturally to me as it seems to for everybody else maybe. I find myself feeling apart somehow. Of course there are times with my woman I don't feel that way but never ever with the babies. With them me is ok. I can be a child or a super hero or a horsey or even a tired papa and it's all good.
I don't mean to assume anything but I think maybe Neal depends on you a little bit more than some kids might. I know he's lucky to have you but I can't help but think how lucky you are to have him too. There's something about the way they rely on us that makes us feel like men, even when we're singing silly songs or crawling around on our hands and knees, and there's nothing like being loved unconditionally.
Bless you Simple and bless your beautiful family.
I remember when he was two too how excited you were about him running around with the other kids.
My Val's such a big girl now, and remember when Tanner was born? She turned two in September. And our Amelia? 10 months old and bald as the day she was born when we all came to know her. She'll be three in 9 days and she still has the prettiest brown eyes I've ever seen...but I don't have to tell you a thing about big brown eyes do I
Yep, happy birthday Neil and happy Neil's birthday to you too Simple
