To My Sweet Son

To my sweet son,

There’s nowhere I’d rather be than with you.

I leave sometimes for work, but it’s not because I want to, it’s because I need to.

There’s no one I’d rather be than your mom.

I long for our cuddle sessions, the hours-long naps, and listening to your snores.

Your babbles are music to my ears, and your smiles are the warmth of my heart.

I long to soothe your cries, and comfort you even when it’s the middle of the night. The first few weeks were hard, but now I spring out of bed at the smallest sound of your fuss. I wouldn’t have it any other way, because it’s another moment to hold you tight.

You’re growing fast. I know someday you’ll be a big boy and not want to be with your momma, but know this, sweet son, I will always want to be with you.
