Paul,
Everyday I watch you grow with such amazement. I can’t believe your dad and I created something so beautiful. You are the hardest most rewarding job I have ever had. I don’t know if it is even a job…it’s a privilege. I am privileged to be your mommy. Everyday I pray for you. I pray that you will be a respectable, loving, intelligent, sincere, empathetic, courageous, thoughtful, God loving man. I pray that I will teach you to treat others kindly and to always stand up for what you believe in.
I love you more than anything in this whole world. A parents love is something I can’t describe. It’s a deeper more passionate love. It’s a love I’ve never experienced before. You will understand someday when you have your own children.
I love that the moment you were born you recognized my voice. I love having such a connection with you. Although sometimes it is tiring I love feeling so needed. I hope that I raise you to be an independent man but I hope that you always make me feel needed in some way.
You are my heart and soul!
Love,
Mommy

sniff, sniff. Awesome letter. You wrote about not being able to describe a parents love, that's so true. And now on Christmas and Easter I can only imagine how Mary felt. I have never been able to relate until I had kids and especially after I had Silas. I can't even imagine how she felt and the pain and joy that went through her heart.
Thanks for sharing this letter to Paul with all of us.
I have a friend who writes a letter to her children on their birthday. I think this is something I am going to start doing. It would have been great to start on Ellie's first birthday but better now than never.
sarah that's so beautiful!
I can't believe how big Paul is!!! I can't wait to see him again!
precious....your words are so insightful and mature for a young mommy. Paul is a lucky boy in so many ways. I can't wait to see what God has in store for your beautiful family!
