dear brooke & gavin

dear brooke & gavin,

it has been a busy week full of excitement.  in the midst of all i have done, and all i still have yet to do, there's a little voice in my head that keeps telling me "you are living your dream."

you see, more than anything else i have always dreamt of being a mom, and there is honestly no better feeling in the world than being your mother.  your mother.  but never could i have imagined or dreamt of a life so full, of a husband so wonderful, of children so special.  i am living my dream, and i am very aware that i am living the best days of my life.

i want you to know that i choose to be home with you every day.  i want you to know that i am educated enough, experienced enough and confident enough to do lots of things in this world, but the most important job i have is being your mother.  i love being the one that is always there for you, to care for you, to love you and to keep you safe.  i love teaching you right from wrong, showing you how to treat people and fostering a loving relationship between the two of you.  i love giving you new experiences, building your confidence and praising your accomplishments.  i love having the time to share the little things and the big things with you, and i love to watch you grow each and every day.  sure, there are days when it's tough... days when i need a break.  but, honestly, you make my job so easy.

i love you both so very much.

love,

your mommy
