My Eli

I don't think I've ever written a little story about my Eli. I've mentioned him a time or twenty, but never a special story all about my Eli.




Eli is the light in my life, my energy when I am down, he's the lift in my spirits when I have reached the bottom. Eli can smile and light up an entire room. He can sing a song and bring joy to all those around him. He's incredible and sweet and very passionate. He's honest and caring and very very smart. He's very eager to please and helpful beyond measure. He's every teacher's pet and best of friends to all he meets. He's articulate and emotional and mysterious and amazingly talented.





Eli is also my middle child. Have you ever heard that term? Bless his heart. I use the term way too easily when describing Eli to others. I simply must try my hardest to quit doing so. I've read a lot about middle children lately and the lack of attention they seem to inherit. I have read that "middles" find all the friends they can, because they often feel left out of families. They often feel like the fifth wheel. I hope that this sweet young man in my life does not feel that way too often...because without this wheel in my life, my world would not spin. He's the hugest personality in the teeniest little body. I hope that if you do not know My Eli, you get a chance to meet him someday. You will fall in love in a heartbeat.
