To my soon to be one year old

Dear My Little Patat,
I cannot believe it's almost been a year since you were born. So small at birth, you were. Look at you now, you went from 3 lbs to 20 lbs in less than a year.

Not a day has gone by that you haven't brought a smile to my face. Even my deepest darkest days and nights, you were there to comfort me to let me know "Mommy I'm okay, you're doing a wondeful job". I would watch you as you sleep for hours, until your slumber finally became contagious making me fall into a deep slumber.

I'd do anything for you, and give you anything.

Looking at you is like looking in the mirror at a male version of myself. All the way from the facial expressions down to the laugh and the way we bat our eyes.

I thank God daily for bringing you to me, and I pray that we will forever be in each other's lives.

Many have come and gone in and out of our lives just in the short time that you have been here. My promise to you is that I will never leave. As long as I have breath in my body and God allows me to be, I will be here for you every step of the way. I want to be everything to you that my mother was not. Although you don't have a father figure, I look to God to assist me with that. I just hope I'm doing my best playing both parts. I used to think that it was unfair that I have to raise you alone. I understand now that God does everything for a reason. It's matured me even more and the struggle makes me appreciate life that much more.

I cannot tell you enough how much I love you and wish nothing but the best for you. I've been here for every last milestone that you have encountered in a year and plan on being there until the end of time.

You are very special to me, and I promise to not purposefully allow any hurt harm or danger to come your way.

Love Always,
Mommy
