Happy 5th Birthday, My Love

The Day I Became Mama / Issa M. Mas

Dear Theo,

Happy Birthday!

In the five years that you have been in my life you have filled me with a love I knew existed but had never felt before.  Watching you grow and fully become who you are has been a marvel to behold.

You are smart.

You are brave.

You are thoughtful.

You are assertive.

You are funny.

You are friendly.

You are filled with talent.

You are so, SO loved.

Thank you for choosing me to come into life through.  That you loved me even before I met you humbles me in a way that little else has.  Your love for me is what carries me through my darkest hours, and gives me hope for the future when I am depleted.  You are my everything, even when I'm busy working or I get upset with you.  Especially then.

I love you, Pun'kin.  More than even I could ever accurately express.

Xoxo,
Mama
