Dear Andrew,

For so long I hoped, prayed and dreamt of the day you would come to share our lives. Then on the day you were born my heart filled with such joy and love I thought it would burst.

In the days following your birth my soul filled with so much fear and worry it seemed it would shatter. Then, after what seemed a lifetime, the day came you were laid on my chest and I felt your tiny heart beat next to mine.

I felt a peace I had never known, I knew we would survive. I have already learned so much about life from you. You taught me every moment is precious, every soul should be cherished, prayers are answered and miracles happen.

I want to thank you for choosing your father and me to share this life with. I look forward to everyday we have to spend together.

Love Forever,

Mamma
