My sweet Olivia,
My perfect little girl. I am forever grateful that I will celebrate my first mothers day as your mother. My love for you is like nothing I have ever experienced. When I look at you, I am overwhelmed by the amount of joy and pure happiness I feel.
You see, my girl, everyone always told me I would love you more than words can explain. That it would feel like you were literally a part of me. Like I wasn't whole without you. And I had no idea how very true that is.
You are my sidekick. We spent the first 10 weeks of your life together, all day, every day. And, even though I won't always be there all day, every day, I will always be there. I will always be here to hold you when you're upset and feed you when you're hungry and snuggle you, well, just because.
My precious girl, you are the best snuggler. In the morning, when I pick you up, you place your head right on my chest, like that is exactly where you want to be. And when I finally get home from work after a long day, you snuggle up against me because you know that's exactly what I need. And before bed, when you rock with your dad in his favorite chair, you lay on your side with your paci, giving him a turn to have some of your sweet, sweet snuggles. We both love them so.
I'm not sure you will ever fully understand how much joy you have brought me, until one day, you have a child of your own. You have made our family complete and I am so thankful God chose me to be your mother. What a wonderful blessing you have been!
So, on my first Mother's Day, I am not hoping for flowers, or jewelry, or time away. I want only to soak in my time with you. I want to snuggle you and feed you and change your dirty diapers and pick out your clothes and play with you until I see that big, toothless smile. I want to always remember these times, because I know they go by entirely too fast.
I love you, my perfect girl, and I always, always will.
Love,
Mommy
