I always knew growing up that I wanted to have kids. I knew that I wanted to be a mom. There was never any question at all in my mind if I would have kids. The only question was how many and I decided long ago that 6 was a good number. I missed, but not by much.
14 years ago, my life changed more than I ever could have imagined.
I knew long before I ever had him that I loved him with everything I had. I never knew just how much that was, until I laid eyes on him.
I think you can never really "get it" until it happens to you. I know you can love and know what love is, without ever having a child, but there is no love in the world like a mother has for her child. There is nothing in the world that a mother would not do for her child. She would jump into oncoming traffic for her child, she would scratch someone's eyes out for her child and she will fight till the end for her child.
I knew long before I had you, that my life would change. I knew I would love you. I knew that there would be nothing I would not do for you. You are and always will be my first true love. There will never be another like you. You have taught me so many things about not only life, but about myself.
You are an amazing big brother. Your little brothers adore you. I love to see you with them. I love to see the way you love them and look out for them. I love the way you stick up for them. I love the way you carry them around and do whatever they want you to do.
You are just like me. You are hard headed, you are strong willed, you are confident, you are cocky, you are a pain in the rear sometimes, you are so smart, you are opinionated, you are loving, you are caring, you worry.
You are dramatic, you are funny, you are loyal...
You make me smile. You are goofy. You are playful, but sometimes you take it too far. In your own words, "You are awesome!"
I am proud of the young man you are becoming. I am proud to call you my son.
You are helpful, you make me laugh.
I love that we are so close.
You have brought me such joy these past 14 years.
I love you with all of my heart.
Sometimes we are a little too much alike.
I cannot believe how much you have grown up in the last year.
I cannot imagine my life without you.
I can remember a time when I thought I would never be lucky enough to have children. The thought of that broke my heart. I will never forget the day I found out that you were on your way. I have never felt such joy and happiness.
You have continued to bring happiness and joy to my life since that day.
You are the light of my life.
I hope that you have the most wonderful birthday ever.
I still cannot believe that you are 14, it seems like just yesterday you were 4 years old.
It seems like you have been a part of my life forever, but in the same way, it feels like you were just born.
Time goes by way too quickly. You are in high school.
I remember taking you for your first day of pre-school. You did not want to go. You cried and cried when I tried to leave. I ended up getting a job at the school that year so that we could still see each other during the day.
You have always been amazing, but you are turning into an amazing young man.
I cannot wait to see what God has in store for your life, I just hope that it does not come too quickly.
You will always be my baby, no matter how big or old you get.
I love you with all of my heart and soul. I hope you have an amazing day.
Happy Birthday! I love you.
