Dear Om,

Thank you for choosing me as your mom. I am so excited to hold you, kiss you and cuddle with you. I have prayed for you and have endured much pain and failures/disappointments. All of that now feels a thing of past as I feel you move, kick, hiccup in my belly. I feel so blessed to experience this. I look at my heartaches with happiness, how the little things in life that mattered until last week don’t mean a thing to me anymore.

I have so many dreams for us as a family together.  I want you to imbibe all good qualities from your family members. What do I tell you about the world you are going to be born into ? Its beautiful, you will enjoy the ride called life. I don’t really know what kind of mom I will be but I promise to always try my best. I promise to always put you first and to  always make you smile. And when there are tears instead , I promise to be the one to wipe them away.

I will be the one to cuddle you when you feel scared, to hold your hand when you feel sick, to read just one more book to you when you can’t fall asleep. I will watch you take your first steps, hear you speak your first words, be there on your first day of school. And, when it’s time to let go, I will be one to wave goodbye, and to watch you become a kind hearted gentleman.

There may be times when it won’t be all happy, there may be days filled with anger, frustration. No matter what our future holds together or what mistakes I make along the way, my love for you is stronger than anything I ‘ve ever know. Suddenly you are my everything :)

Love you always and forever,

Mom
