dear dylan...



Dear Dylan,


I've learned the greatest lessons being your mommy.


You've taught me patience.
You've taught me unconditional love.
You've taught me to relax and to let the little things go. 
You've taught me to stop and enjoy my surroundings, the simple things.
You've taught me what it's like to love someone more than life itself.
You've taught me what life is really all about.




I've learned that time really does go by so fast. Too fast.
And that I need to cherish every moment.
I need to listen to every cackle of your laugh.
I need to wipe every single tear.
I need to hug and kiss you 100 times a day.
I need to watch you sleep and listen to you snore.
I need to take a mental picture of your face every second.
I need to carry you as much as I can before you're almost as tall as me.
I need to stare into your big beautiful eyes.
I need to remember these moments.
Because one of these days, you won't be a little boy anymore. 







You've grown into such a wonderfully loving boy who melts my heart every day. You amaze me with every breath, smile, and laugh.


My life has changed forever because of you. And it continues to change and grow beautifully as every year passes by...just like you.




HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!

  9. I just feel like crying after reading this. Very emotional. You are really a proud mummy and your boy will grow to cherish every moment you shared with him. Joy of motherhood. Thanks for sharing and i wish your little man happy birthday and many more yrs to him. May he bring forth sunshine in your household.
    My PC broke down that was why you have not seen me for sometime. A friend was doing the publishing for me. Wishing you a great week.
