To the greatest blessing of my life;
I never knew such a tiny little thing could bring so much joy, fear, and love in to my life all at once. For the first time, I understood what love at first sight was.
Before you arrived, we were never nervous. We were ready for you to arrive and change our lives forever – and boy, did you! When you first were put on Mommy’s chest the moment you were born, I felt like I was born too – my purpose in life became clear. My purpose is you! I don’t remember life before you, and what I do remember, it seems empty – because you aren’t in it!
In just one year you have developed your own personality and turned in to your own little self. And can I just say that you are amazing? Every day you amaze me and I am so proud of you. If this is just the baby stage, I can only imagine all of the wonderful things you’ll do in life.
I wish that you will continue to be kind, compassionate, and forgiving. Life is so much more enjoyable when you see the good in people, and the world around you. Be kind to others, but most importantly be forgiving to those who may have wronged you. I wish that you grow up at your own pace. Take things slow, and enjoy each phase of your life. Be your own man, and create your own story. Don’t let other people make you feel like you should change who you are. You are strong, stay like that.
And no matter what life brings us, always remember that you are my hero and I love you more than you could ever imagine. You are my world!
Happy first birthday big boy!
Love always,
Your very emotional mom 💙
