To my sweet little boy...
It's only been a week since we brought you home and you are already teaching me so much about life and love. I knew you would change your dad and I for the better when you arrived, I just didn't realize how quickly you would do it.
In the short week that you've been in my arms you've taught me that love is messy and that we show love at the greatest at times when we're serving others. You've taught me about giving of myself for someone I love and putting others first before myself. You've shown me just how tough I am and how tender my heart is also. You've made me realize how empty life was before you and how strong the fight is within me to keep those I love safe. You've begun our family and stolen our hearts with your first breath. You've made us realize how selfish we were before at times and how we'd stop the world for you now.
Your tiny soul has made me a mommy and has shown me a glimpse at the love my mom has for me and the love your daddy's mom has for him. Never again will I look at your daddy quite the same way. Not just because he is the love of my life, now the love that is also captured in you but also because he is someone's son and suddenly I can relate to the love that his mommy felt and still feels today.
The greatest love that you've taught me about since your birth is the love of my Heavenly Father, our Savior, our God. The love I feel for you is only a fraction of the love He feels for us. A love that He gave everything to keep, a love that sacrificed and saved sinners from a deserving death.
My son, my baby boy how you are just getting started in this life and I pray you have a long long life ahead of you. You are just a baby but you are changing the world in our eyes and the beat of our hearts. I love you my darling. Your mommy I will always be.
