Dylan turned 11 years old today. WOW. The last 11 of year have flown by. It seems it was just yesterday I was a young girl finding out I was pregnant. I thought my life was over. Little did I know my life was just about to be born. Dylan and I learned together over the years. From the moment he was born I knew that even if I could not give him everything I could give enough love to get us through any situation or obstacle that was thrown at us. I can barely remember the disappointment in my dads eyes when he found out I was pregnant because the memory of the pride in his eyes when he held his first grandson has replaced that. . I spent 9 months wondering how I was ever going to be a good mother at only 19. I spent 9 seconds after I first laid eyes on him knowing exactly how I was going to do that. He was the most amazing precious thing I had ever seen. I instantly felt over joyed with love, hopes and dreams for this amazing baby that was just handed to me. Nothing else mattered I knew I would do whatever I needed to do to make sure this baby was happy and healthy. Looking back I would not change a thing . I was given the very best blessing anyone could ever ask for with out even asking. I remember leaving you at daycare for the very first time ever. Denise assured me you would be fine and I cried all the way to work wondering how you were ever going to make it through the day with out me. I shortly learned that you made it through your day just fine. It was me who had a hard time making it through my day with out you.
I remember Dad and I taking you to the bus stop on your first day of school. You were so confident with your little LL Bean back pack and Spider man lunch box. You stepped on that big bus and never looked back . Dad and I stood there until the bus faded away down the hill and walked back home hand and hand with tears in our eyes. You have never stopped amazing me since the day you were born. Your confidence and charm will get you very far in life. As you turn 11, you suddenly think you do not need me as as much..Good thing I know this is not true. . I want you to know that I am honored to have shared your first words, steps and all journeys with you over the past 11 years. I was amazed the day you were born and you have continued to amaze me every day since. I love you ........... Lets take the next 11 years a little bit slower then the last though please......... I will continue to be here for you every day even the days you do not want me here. Those will be the days you will need me most.
I will love you forever................I will like you for always. As long as I am living... My baby you will be..
