13 years ago I became a Mother for the first time. You were so tiny with the biggest blue eyes. I couldn’t believe “they” trusted us to take you home from the hospital and be alone with you. No book could have prepared me for the intense feelings of being your Mother. The bond I felt with you was over whelming. At times it was like a secret language. I innately knew what you needed. Today as a Mother of a teenager I do not. Motherhood was not easy then and it is not easy now. But I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Happy 13th Birthday Jake. I love you!!
Love,
Mom
