Ten years ago today, I held you in my arms for the very first time.
Ten years ago today, I was blessed with an enormous feeling of protectiveness and unconditional love.
Ten years ago today, I looked into your big beautiful brown eyes and I saw pure innocence.
Ten years ago today, I gave birth to my first child and only son.
I don’t know if words can express the feeling one gets when they become a mother. The minute your precious unbelievably small little person is placed in your arms, and you hold that child for the very first time. I know that I felt not only joy but also complete and utter terror at knowing that I was to nurture, teach, and bring this little boy into this world and show him all that he can become. To guide him and allow him to find himself. Now yes he is only ten today, but he is shaping himself to become the man I, his father and God want him to be. I am so proud to call him my son and I am so proud to continue to see him grow and love on his sister, cousins, family and friends.
Ten years ago today, I was blessed to call you my son, Happy Birthday Julian!
Muah,
Mommy 🙂
