I wrote this for you in 2009.
As a mother, Myles, you make me strong.
I love you.
I am more patient with you…
which is an accomplishment I never thought I’d have
Your tiny body is adorable,
so little,
soft
your baby skin is so precious
fingers and feet
no words to describe the beauty they are.
the way you arch your back, when your mad
or playing
Your adorable smile
It makes me feel wonderful as a mother.
Your social smile is cute too,
everyone who sees it thinks so.
You are getting bigger
Every few weeks I see it.
You are trying to stand,
and roll independently
your own personality is already starting to show
how you recognize Daddy.
and Me.
We spend so much time together
And I think about when your older
I love every stage.
The way your developing
I don’t know if this is what they call “Mother’s Love”
I don’t like the way that sounds.
I, Myles, have a deep connection with you.
A Love, A Promise.
Like when I vowed before God, and your Daddy Andrew,
That I would always love them, I love you too.
I think you know that though.
And may I always be there for you in your time of need.
My baby.
My Myles.
