A Letter to my Son

December 15, 2009 By Erin L. 4 Comments


Dear Bug,
A year ago today, my wish came true. I become a mother.
After several years of tears and frustration, you came into my life.
I am forever grateful.

I cannot begin to tell you how much joy you have given to me and your father. You are such a wonder. Every day with you brings new things, new emotions. I am constantly in awe in how much my heart can grow. Every day it grows bigger and bigger. Some days I think it just might come out of my body. I hear you giggle, that infectious, glorious sound…and I fear that my heart just may burst with happiness.

You, my son, are my everything. Every milestone you accomplish engraves a memory on my soul.

I just want to breathe you in…every second I spend with you. I want to hold it all inside and never forget. I want to keep every moment in a locked-up box in my heart and keep it close.

My baby is growing up, growing older, becoming a boy. And I get the privilege to watch you. I get the privilege of being your mother.

Be brave my son. The world is weak. If I could keep you from pain, shield you from the monsters that will hide under your bed, I would. But the world is also strong. You will see wonderment; you will experience beauty; you will be loved.

You ARE loved. My beautiful boy. My sweet, sweet WonderBug.
Happy Birthday!

    So cute!

    That picture of him with you at the hospital is so precious. Time flies by so fast sometimes.

    "I just want to breathe you in…every second I spend with you. I want to hold it all inside and never forget." I couldn't have said it better myself! This is SO how I feel about Lea, too. 🙂 Happy Birthday, little man.

    We just may have the same exact birth story – except I don't remember my husband being so funny. He looks as taken with you as you do with him in this picture. Happy Birthday baby!
