To My Son

To my dear son Logan,
In a little over 24 hours, I will be celebrating my very first Mother's Day. I just wanted to say how much I love you and how grateful I am that I have been given the gift of motherhood. Every day, I look at you and think to myself, where has the time gone? From the first moment I laid eyes on you, I loved you with my whole heart. Just seeing your smile or hearing your laugh is enough to get me teary eyed.
Tonight, Daddy went to the store, and you and I just cuddled on the couch. I love those moments. You, listening to my heart beat, just like you did nearly 10 months ago, me, sniffing your hair and holding your hand. That was the best.
I feel like you are growing so fast. I have to remind myself everyday to stop and take in the small moments. Of course the big things are important too, but it will be the small everyday moments I will wish I would have remembered later. What made you laugh? How did that sweet little baby laugh sound? Those are things I don't want to forget.
I love you so much, Logan. I hope that one day you know that I do everything for you that I can. I hope you don't regret that I've had to miss so many important moments by being at school, or work. I do those things for you too.

Thank you for making me the happiest Mommy (or Mema) in the world. I love you,
Mommy
