Often I find myself simply going through the motions; the everyday routine.Wake up, cook breakfast, playtime, cook lunch, work work work, come home, clean the house, lay down.
Like clockwork, I rarely miss a beat. But some days, I think about it too much. I think about how much I'm simply participating and not truly enjoying the moments we spend together. And in those daydreams, I think of all the things I wish I could do and say.
1. I love you.
I say it every day, a million times a day, You hear it non-stop. But you will never understand how much I truly mean it. I love you, with my whole heart. I would give my all for you. The day you were born, my life changed for the better. You are everything to me, and without you I could not survive.
2. I'm sorry.
I sometimes take our time together for granted, Sometimes, I'm too tired to play cars or too busy to finger paint. I strive to be a super-momma, but super-momma is also a super-wife, super-cleaner, super-cooker, and super-worker. Hopefully you'll be a super-son and understand.
3. No one can replace you.
Yes, momma and daddy want more children. That does not mean we love you any less. Consider the idea of "Big Brother" a privilege; it means you were wonderful enough that we wanted a mini-you.
4. Always put God first.
As you get older, there will be many temptations. With every decision you make, remember to put God first. He is Our Creator; He is Our Father. Try to please Him in everything you do. He will never forget you, and you should never forget Him. You will never grow to old to pray to Him.
5. You will always have a home.
Everyone makes mistakes, and that's okay. If we never made mistakes, we could never learn any new life lessons. No matter what path you decide to travel in life, we will always be there. We will support you, we will guide you. We will love you through the hard times. As a parent, it is my job to love and protect you until I leave this Earth, and I always will.
