Motherhood is a challenge and a blessing. No one can describe the moment that you hold your newborn for the very first time or the joys of seeing your child make good choice on their own. Cherish your little ones. They tend to grow up overnight. No wonder the scriptures say, "Behold your little ones."
I wouldn't be a mother without each of you. You have made my life completely complete.
Dear Bryant: No little guy ever came into the world with as much anticipation as you. After days of labor, you were born. Dad cried as he said to you "I'm your father and I love you." You were the genesis of a young family. Our beginning. Both sets of grandparents were at the hospital waiting your arrival. You got the newly decorated baby nursery, a baby buggy and an automatic rocking horse. Everything you did was a first and we were over the moon with each little step and word from you. You have always been happy and cheerful. You laughed at your sisters antics and adored your father and Poppy. You were always my favorite. Your faith in God has been an inspiration to me even when times were tough for you, you hung in there. Keep going, Bry. Keep walking, having faith and hope in the future.
Dear Stacey: You brought life and light into our home the moment you were born. Even as a newborn, you had a mind of your own. You taught me the way you wanted things done. You were the middle child (and acted nothing like a middle child) and the one we relaxed with. You were the baby that was dropped and stepped on more times than I care to say. You were my constant companion for your first year and we went everywhere together. Your mind was always spinning with ideas: good ideas and fun ideas. You brought us friends and events and parties and lots of dancing. You always knew what path you wanted in life and set out on course to achieve your goals. You are firm and steadfast. I wish I had one ounce of your creativity, passion and drive. You were always my favorite. You have been a loyal friend to many, including me, especially me! Thanks for getting me and dreaming dreams with me.
Dear Jess: You will always be my baby. As a baby, I would try to protect you from the wind and rain, but you didn't want me to. You wanted to hold your face high into the storm. But I see you in a strong woman who has overcome many obstacles. That's who you are today. You were our icing on the cake and made our family complete. You are the only little girl I know that would sit on a stool by the dentist to watch her mother have a root canal. That's how good you were. You bring to our family a sense of individuality and uniqueness. You are your own person but very much a part of all of us. You are sensitive and kind to the needs and desires of others. Potential is oozing out of your pores. Live the life of your dream. You have always been my favorite. I cherish our friendship.
