To my love,

I want you to know how much I love you. You are my world. Even before I felt you in my womb, or saw you on the sonogram, I loved you. I pined to see your tiny face, kiss your soft feet, and smell your hair. And when you kicked my ribs, I didn't mind, it made me want to hold you even more in my arms. I could not wait to meet you.

When you were born, I held my breathe waiting to hear your first cry, I too cried tears of happiness. I could not get enough of you. As you slept, I should have been getting my rest, instead I would stare at you as I held you. Also, if you would wake in the middle of the night, I was not bothered to nurse you at three in the morning, knowing I had to wake early to go to class.

As you grew older, your smiles and sparkling eyes would never fail to pull on my heart strings. When your little hand wraps around my finger, I know you love me also. I love when you throw your arms around my thigh to hug me after I have been at school all day, you make all my worries go away. My favorite is when you place your tiny soft hands on my cheeks to pull me in for a small wet kiss. You melt my heart with your love. I want to protect you, but I know you must learn by doing. At times, you may fall and skin your knee, and I will be there to pick you back up.

I know now that at times I am to busy to play and cuddle with you because I am forever doing homework and blogging for school. It won't be long before I am done. Just know I will always love you. I am going to school to better our lives and be a better provider. But most of all I am setting an example for you to follow. I want the world for you because I love you. You are my sunshine.

I love you forever,
Mommy
