You weren’t in my plans.

But you came just the same.

I wasn’t ready.

But there you were.

I did my best — always.

I wanted the world for you.

You made me dig deeper, try harder.

You taught me to think greater than myself.

When times got hard it was because of you that I kept going.

Now those early days are memory and you are fulfilling your own dreams.

I am so very proud of who you are becoming and excited about adventures that yet await you.

My hope is that you will always find more reasons to laugh than you will to cry.

I know the world scored one for the good guys when it got you …

I know that I am a more complete person because you came forth into my life.

This day I am honored to be your mother.

I thank you and I love you.
