Thank you

Dear Grayden,
I love you so much. You're everything I ever dreamed my son would be. Everyday I spend with you is a day I never want to forget. Watching you grow makes me sad, but in the best way possible. I'm still trying to process the fact that you're really here now, and you're really mine. You'll always be the best thing that has ever happened to me. (Daddy is now #2.) I will never forget the day I felt you move for the first time, the day we met, the first time I saw you smile... You've made my life so much brighter.

I was happy when it was just your dad and I, but when I found out our family of two would soon be 3, I was overjoyed. There were moments I didn't think I was worthy of such an awesome responsibility. Honestly, motherhood absolutely scares the living daylights out of me. But, I know that we have a love like no other; the love of a  mother and her son. That gives me the strength I need to get up every morning and face the day.

Grayden, I love you so deeply. You will always be my little boy, no matter how big you grow, where you go or what you do with your life. Thank you for coming into my life, and making it TWO HUNDRED infinities better.
I love you, Son.
Momma
P.S.- I found this song today called "Thank you" by Sarah Connor. It says everything so perfectly.

There's no greater love
There's no greater joy
Then when I felt your life growing inside of me
God has given me a gift so precious
He must have made you from a cloud and angel's wings

Now that you've come into my life
Without you I know I can't survive
No... 'cause you're the reason that I live each day

And I wanna thank you for all that your are
Thank you for being my light when it's dark
Thank you for bringing me joy each day
I'm loving you more than words can say

Thank you for givin' my life a new song
Givin' me reason to wanna stay strong
Thank you for everything that you've done
You are my life, my soul, my son

You've come and changed my life
'Cause what I feel inside
Is a joy I know I've never had before
And though I'll make mistakes
There's something you should know
I dedicate my love and life to you

Now that you've come into my life
Without you I know I can't survive
'Cause you're the reason that I live each day

And I wanna thank you for all that your are
Thank you for being my light when it's dark
Thank you for bringing me joy each day
I'm loving you more than words can say

Thank you for givin' my life a new song
Givin' me reason to wanna stay strong
Thank you for everything that you've done
You are my life, my soul, my son
