Today,
you become 14 years old. How did that
happen? Wasn’t it just yesterday that I
found out I was having you? Wasn’t it
just yesterday that you were born? You
coming to my life has been such a challenge and such a blessing. Your existence has helped me find out who I
am and taught me that unconditional love does truly exist.
Your
journey has been a bumpy one, not just for us but you as well. So many things that have been a part of your
life that are not your doing and others that were you doing. I hope that you look back at these moments
and learn something from them. I’m a
firm believer that even though life can be terrible sometimes, how you react to
those times is what shows the world what kind of person you are and whether or
not you learned from those experiences.
I hope that one of the things I have taught you is that you cannot
control the actions of others, just your reactions. You have been privy to many things in life
that are not fair, yet, I hope you allow those events to make you a stronger
person who has learned that love is so much better to live than hate.
When I
found out before you were born that I wasn’t able to have children, I was
devastated. Then God decided that it was
finally time for me to be a mom and he gave me you. What a gift it is to be your mom. Don’t get me wrong, there are days that I
want to pull my hair out and question if I’m the right one for the job. Then I see you smile, hear you belly laugh
and hear you tell me you love me and well, those thoughts disappear.
My
commitment to you is that I will tirelessly continue to work towards helping
you be the best you can be. Despite the
challenges you face daily, I still believe that you have something wonderful to
give to the world. I hope that I can
help you determine what that is and help you achieve it. You are an intelligent and loving young man
who really can give so much to all of us.
I hope that you find what that gift is and use it to the best of your
ability.
Always
remember, I love you with all that I am.
You may not agree with all that I have to say or all that I do when it
comes to you. Please remember that I
make those decisions out of love and out of what we think is best for you. You are blessed to have a bonus dad who loves
you like his own and together we do what we can to help you be the best you can
be. Always remember, never forget, our
love for you is real and we are your biggest cheerleaders who will push you,
love you and teach you.
Happy
birthday to you my nugget. You are the
best thing that has ever happened to me…….thank you for bringing joy, patience
and love into my life.
Always,
Your mom
