Tomorrow my son Leander turns five. FIVE! I can’t believe how big he’s gotten! Time flies by so fast. Next time we’re celebrating his birthday he’ll be going to school.
It feels like yesterday that I got to see him for the very first time. Wondering what kind of person he would become. If he would have anything of me in him or be more like his father.
How his health would be. His voice. His whole personality!
Now he’s grown up to a really smart and funny boy. He’s an inspiration to me! Being a mother is so different than what I could ever imagine. It has taught me so much about myself. It has scared me and it has given me the greatest happiness that I’ve ever known. I’m so proud of him and I can’t wait to see what is in store for him.
I’ll make sure that he knows that he can always come to me. I will always listen and give as good advice as I can.
And he’ll know that he’s forever loved! Loved for the unique and amazing person he is!
I love you! And happy birthday!
