Dear Sweetheart,

Dear Sweetheart,

As of a couple days ago, you are now officially 11 months old. Time is such an interesting thing. It goes the fastest when you want it to slow down, and never seems to end when you want it to speed up. I wish that I could have been pregnant with you longer, but it went by so fast. I wish that we could have had more time with each other in the hospital, but again, it was a blur. And now you are 11 months old and I wish you were still a newborn infant, yet I can't wait to witness you grow from afar. There is so much that I've missed and perhaps that is why time seems to have flown past me. Maybe since I don't see you on a daily basis, I'm not familiar with how familiar you would be to me if I did spend every day with you.

Every single moment of your life is precous to me. From the moment I found out I was pregnant with you, to the moment you are reading this letter when you first read it... and every time after that you choose to read it. Your life is a gift and it should be lived that way every single day. You are the joy of my spirit. You are the sense in a life that doesn't always make sense. You are a blessing to all those who know you and will know you. I love you with all that I am Baby Boy. You are the child of my heart and I will always cherish you.

Love,

your birth mother
