Courage and Honor and Decency

This weekend I have been able to watch several movies I have never seen before. Sometimes I am lucky to see one but things just worked out for me to see several this weekend. It was kind of nice.

One movie I got to see was The Tale of Despereaux. A very cute movie about, as Lilly would say, talking mice.

Despereaux is a very small mouse. Not just to humans but even to mice. He reminded me very much of Noah.

To the world, Noah is just a small little guy. But in his own mind, he is a giant.

He's not afraid of anything. He walks into situations that would cause others to cower with his head held high. He doesn't even know that being scared or weak is an option.

Like a valiant prince going into a battle, Noah has courageously fought many physical battles. He has been strong and determined. He is so brave he never considered there was another way.

Today he is a small little guy with an angel heart. He continues to face each new day and each new experience with an innocent hope that I envy.

It's a honor to be his mother. He teaches me so much and yet he also relies on me to guide him and teach him so many things.

In the movie, Despereaux reads a book about a prince who is going to rescue a princess. He was a good man. One of the very few men in the world who had courage, and honor and decency. These are a few of the things I hope Noah brings with him into adulthood. A few traits that he brought into this world when he took his first breath. A few things that I pray he never loses.

He may be small, but its my dream he continues to walk into the unknown with his head held high and curiosity in his eyes.
