Dear three and a half year old William
Dear three and a half year old William,
Being your mother is harder than I ever expected. But I have to remind myself that this is also happening to you. We are in this together.
You're different. That means I'm different too.
I'm tired when other mothers aren't tired. I'm sad when other mothers aren't sad.
That doesn't mean I love you any less.
Where there is greater pain there is greater love. With greater fear comes stronger joy.
You are the most alive I've ever felt.
The boy I dreamed of for my whole life. Here you are. And you are wonderful. You may not be like all the others but you are mine and more like me than anyone has ever been.
Making you has made me proud.
The love I have for you could move mountains. It's all ok. It will be ok.
I will be ok and so will you.
I was born to love you.
My perfect son.
Love Mummy x
