On the night you were born

On the night you were born,

The moon smiled with such wonder

That the stars peeked in to see you

And the night wind whispered,

“Life will never be the same.”

Dear Jamie,

365 days ago you made me a mom.  You made us a family.

Since the moment I heard your first little cry and laid eyes on your sweet little face, life has truly never been the same.  You've changed me in ways you'll never know.  You've taught me more in one year than in all of my first 29 combined.  You've made me a stronger person.  Everyday you amaze me.  Everyday you make me laugh.  Everyday you challenge me in ways I didn't think were possible.  On even my darkest days, you helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel.  You've opened my eyes to a love I never even knew existed.  A mother's love.  And it's amazing.  Just when I think it isn't possible....that my heart is already bursting...you find a way to make me love you even more.  I enjoy watching you learn and explore the world around you.  You're such a busy, independent little boy...but it melts my heart how sometimes, right before bed you'll still let me snuggle, even if for only a moment.  I still tip toe into your room every single night, just to watch you sleep.  Maybe when you're 16, I'll stop.  Maybe.  I'm so grateful to be your mom.  I think God knew what He was doing the day he sent you to me, because together we make a pretty good team.  I can't wait to see what the future brings for you Mr. Boo, cause I know you're going to do great things!
