Dear Mommy,
Happy 1st Mother's Day!
Am I am so blessed to have you as my Mommy! I know that without you, I wouldn't even be here today! In my short life, I have come to love you so very much! Let me tell you just a few of the reasons I love you so much:
* You dreamed of having me before I was even thought of! I have learned that you desired to have a baby and I think you had to do some convincing with Daddy. It's not that he didn't want another child, it's just that he thought he was too old to handle this. Well, I don't think I have killed him or you yet--even though the first few weeks were pretty tough. I am so glad that you didn't give up hoping and dreaming about me.
* Even before I was born, you took good care of me. You walked and exercised as long as you could. You really did a good job eating the right foods! The doctor was so pleased with how little weight you gained in the early months of being pregnant! You never did let your desire for Papa John's Pizza get the best of you! Even when you were in Seattle when I was so very,very small, you didn't eat all the fish that you wanted and drink all the coffee that you wanted, knowing how bad it would be for me. You even took those HUGE vitamins because the doctor said too! And I agree with you, I'm not sure how you are suppose to swallow a horse pill! Thank you Mommy for sacrificing for me!
* Thank you Mommy for going to the doctor every month, rushing to get there from school, taking the shots the doctor recommended, and having all those tests done. I know it wasn't fun to have those needles put in you, but you did all of that for me!
* Thank you Mommy for singing to me before I was born, and letting me listen in on your music! Right now, as you know, one of my favorite things in the world is listening to my music! I love it! That's because of you Mommy. You gave me that gift. (You really don't think that gift came from Daddy, do you?)
* Thank you Mommy for taking off work to be with me! You left your school children to spend the first twelve weeks of my life with me! I will never forget how you bathed me, held me, sang to me, fed me, changed me, and just simply loved on me. My doctor (Dr. Jamie) said you couldn't spoil a baby--and I sure am glad you followed her advice so much! Thank you Mommy for focusing on me and my every need during those first 12 weeks. I don't think we were ever apart during those 12 weeks, other than a few errands you ran and letting Daddy have a few special minutes with him.
* Thank you Mommy for talking so sweetly to me.
* Thank you Mommy for always checking on me before going to bed and before you leave each morning.
* Thank you Mommy for worrying about me if I don't make enough noise during the night! I know you listen for me and even though you want me to stay asleep, you worry when I don't grunt or wiggle or coo.
* Thank you Mommy for sending Daddy into my bedroom to look in on me. Thank you for not taking a no from him!
* Thank you Mommy for being addicted to buying me new outfits and always looking at consignment stores and yard sales. There is no doubt, I am the best dressed yard sale kid in Alabama! Daddy is thinking about admitting you to a "Yard Sale Anonomous" club, but he knows you only have my best at heart.
* Thank you Mommy for keeping me fed so well! I know things didn't work out quite the way you hoped, but you gave it everything you had! And, for that, I know you gave it your best! I am still fine, even though it didn't work out. As you can tell from my pictures, I don't miss eating every couple of hours! Thank you Mommy for not quitting and doing all that you did for me.
* Thank you Mommy for everything! When God sent me to be your son, He could not have sent me to a better Mommy anywhere! I know you tell everyone you are blessed to have me. But, Mommy, you are wrong. I am the one who is blessed! God must have really loved me to send me to you!
Thank you for being my Mommy!
Happy Mother's Day my little mama!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!
Your Son,
Evan
