My first born. The one who made me a mother. What a blessing this journey with you has been. I prayed for you even before you were born. I wanted you so badly and it was amazing the day I found out that God answered my prayers. I carried you inside of me for forty weeks and that first sight of you took my breath away. You are the one who taught me that love at first sight does exist. You are a joy that fills me heart and my life.
I'm glad that you have your father's brains when it comes to math. Always try your best and do not ever settle for less. This world can be cruel and tough but with God all things are possible. You can handle anything and I will always be here for you.
Don't ever lose sight in who you are and don't ever, ever give up on God. Someday you will find out the truth about Santa and The Easter Bunny but God is real and He loves you so much. He brought you into this world for a reason and I hope someday you find your purpose in life.
I can't believe you are one decade old. Double digits! That happened so fast. I remember holding you in my arms when you were a baby. You hated to be put down and I had to carry you everywhere. I'm so grateful that I have been able to stay at home with you and spend all day with you. I was able to experience all of your firsts. Sending you to school was the hardest thing but you are doing such an amazing job. The teachers always say you are so quiet but at home you are quite active and rambunctious. Don't be afraid to show others who you truly are. You are amazing.
It makes me so proud to see how active you are. Cub scouts, baseball and now trumpet. I'm jealous of your ambition.
I'm sorry for not always doing the right thing as a mother. I know I can sometimes be tough. My job is to be your mother not your friend. My job is to make sure you and your sister understand right from wrong. But no matter what life brings, I will always be here for you. You can count on that.
I love you, kid!
Mommy
