It's a few days shy of Mother's Day and as I think back over the last sixteen months of motherhood, I can't help but feel that the thank you is actually owed to you.
Thank you, August, for making me your Momma. There is nothing I love in life more than being yours.
Thank you for making me live in the moment. I've spent much of my life working to always "be present" and you finally showed me the way.
Thank you for showing me what deep, all consuming love really is. My heart has never been so full.
Thank you for making me laugh every single day. You can turn any bad day to a good one in an instant.
Thank you, August, for humbling me. For showing me that the things I can't control are actually the best things in my life.
Thank you for showing me more patience than I have ever known in my life.
Thank you, August, for being my little boy. You are my moon and my stars and make me melt every time I hear your tiny voice say my name.
And finally....
Thank you for showing me that I can, in fact, survive on little to no sleep and be happy doing so.
I love you to the moon and back, sweet boy.
Love always,
Your Momma
