Dear Skibbles,
You may not know this, but over two years ago, you changed our lives forever. I knew from a very young age that I desperately wanted to be a mother, but I could have never imagined what being your mother would do to me. I am a better person because of you. Everyday that you wake up you teach me something new about life.
You came at the perfect time into our lives and for 41 weeks I cherished every single moment that you spent inside me. From wondering if I was feeling you start to move inside my belly to full out kicks, I began to love you so deeply before I even saw your face, held your hand, or smelled your sweet milk breath.
And for the past almost 18 months, I can loved watching you go from cooing to babbling, to small sentences. I have watched you learn to roll, crawl, walk, and run. I have watched you grow in a fierce, determined, head strong firecracker in your short lifespan. But more importantly, I have watched you teach me to be a better person. To to listen more carefully, to play more passionately. but most importantly, to love more deeply,
They say “When a baby is born, a Mother is born.” When you were born, I was born into a mother. And no one can ever take away how much I truly love you.
