A love letter to my oldest child
Oh, Little One. You are the one that made me a mommy. Before I had you, I didn’t know what love could really feel like. The deep, earnest everlasting love took me by surprise.
The moment I heard that first cry, a sob arose in my throat and I stared adoringly into your fresh new face. As the nurses went about their duties and the doctor pushed on my belly, I was oblivious and uncaring of the noises around me. I was caught up in your adorable smile, teeny nose, and fuzzy eyes trying to look at me.
