One year ago, I met youโand in that very moment, a new version of me was born too. You didnโt just growโฆ you changed me in ways I canโt even begin to explain.
From the day I delivered you, it has been a journey I will never forget. The unending sleepless nights, the exhausting days, the moments my body felt so weak but my heart refused to give up. Breastfeeding you, comforting you, learning youโฆ there were times I felt so drained, so overwhelmed, and so close to breaking.
But then you smileโฆ
you laugh, you giggle, or I simply watch you sleep so peacefullyโand suddenly, everything feels okay again. As if every exhaustion, every tear, every moment of doubt just melts away. You made all of it worth it without even trying.
Me and your dad have been doing everything we canโevery single dayโto give you the life you deserve. From making sure your tummy is full, to holding you until you fall asleep, to learning things on our own as first-time parents. It hasnโt been easy, especially living far from family, with just the two of us figuring it all out. But love makes you do things you never thought you couldโฆ and for you, we will always keep trying.
And through it all, I hold onto my faith.
Thanking Father God for every bit of guidance, for His protection, and for carrying us through the days we felt unsure, tired, or afraid. He has been with us in every step as we learn how to raise you.
This year wasnโt perfectโbut it was real.
Full of love, sacrifice, growth, and quiet strength.
We made it through our first year together, my love.
365 days of choosing you, even on the hardest days.
365 days of loving you more than I ever thought was possible.
And if I could relive it all againโevery sleepless night, every tear, every challengeโ
I wouldโฆ just to be your mama.
This is only the beginning of a lifetime of loving you. ๐ค
