Hello friends! Today I bring you a letter from the heart that I wrote on the occasion of my son Ethan's birthday, which was celebrated yesterday. I hope you like it.
Today I feel grateful to life for giving me the opportunity to write this letter to wish a "Happy Birthday" to you, my greatest treasure and pride. It's funny, it's so easy for me to write about everything, but when I started thinking about this letter to you, the words were piling up in my heart and couldn't come out the way I wanted them to.
Words fall short when it comes to expressing how I feel about you. I would like to tell you that I love you, but it is too little. I thought of expressing that I adore you, but it's too simple. And finally, I decided to tell you that I love you, but I think that, although it sounds too much, a little more would be needed.
When I knew I would become a mother, it was a moment that filled my heart with anguish and emotion. I was dying to meet you and the wait was short to have you with me. It has been 2 years since you came into my life, my little gift from heaven, like a miracle I thought I didn't deserve. I remember holding you in my arms, so fragile, innocent and perfect, a little being who came to change my life and whom I promised to love, cherish and protect with everything I have and everything I am.
Your first years have been full of joy for me. Watching you grow is what defines my existence. The first time you spoke or managed to stand up, when you told me "I love you" or hugged me, are moments that I will keep in my heart as a valuable treasure. It is great to see you looking at the world with such innocence and purity, it makes me think that the whole universe is a more beautiful place.
Con todo mi amor y cariño
Tu mamá
Becoming a mother was a real challenge, a wonderful challenge that I have had the pleasure of experiencing. I do not deny that I have been afraid and insecurity has taken over me on several occasions, but if there is one thing I have never doubted, it is the love I have for you. You are the strength that drives me to get up every day, even over tiredness or sadness. You are my light and everything I need to be happy. You came to teach me so much that I will thank God every day of my life for giving me the opportunity to be your mother.
I promise to be your support, to take care of you, to love you and to guide you in this life that is still beginning for you, a life full of challenges and dreams to fulfill. Remember to never stop being happy and even if the world disappears, your mother will always be there for you, waiting with open arms.
With all my love and affection
Your mom
Mi hijo siempre será el motivo de mi existir, la razón de mi sonrisa y el ser más importante en mi vida. Le pido a Dios que me dé la oportunidad no solo de compartir este cumpleaños, sino muchos más. La carta que escribí espero que algún momento la lea mi hijo, y aunque las palabras se las lleva el viento, estas representan una promesa que nunca se borrará.
My son will always be the reason for my existence, the reason for my smile and the most important being in my life. I ask God to give me the opportunity not only to share this birthday, but many more. The letter I wrote I hope my son will read it at some point, and although words are carried away by the wind, these represent a promise that will never be erased.
