Today...

Last year--Life changed.
Last year--I hated the fact that we were moving so far away from family.
Last year--I delivered my first child and after three weeks, had to survive on my own.
Last year--I struggled with feelings of anger, frustration, depression and sadness.
Last year--I wasn't sure I wanted to be a mom...
So--
This year--I made a resloution to enjoy the ride.
This year--I prayed to be freed from all the pressure I was putting on myself and my child to be perfect.
This year--I changed.
 And--
Last month--I flew to NC to see my family and felt grateful for them.
Last week--I began seeing changes in my attitude and disposition.
Last week--I started appreciating the little things about my day, my child, my husband...my life.
And--
Yesterday--I felt overwhelmed with love for my little one.
Yesterday--I couldn't have asked for a more perfect son.
Yesterday--I saw him in a whole new light.
And--
Today--I can't imagine life ever being the same.
Today--I can't wait to see him again when he wakes up.
Today--I want to smooch his little cheeks so often he has permanent kisses.

Today--I know that indeed I AM meant to be his mother...and he IS my precious gift from God.

Today...forever...always.
