How lucky I feel to have become a mother. It has been a trying first year with his early arrival, and his colic, but at the end of the day I feel so blessed that Brendan is my son. There are so many little things that make being a mother all worthwhile. I love the way he smiles from ear to ear when I first walk into his room every morning. What a greeting! And when he gets frightened, it warms my heart to know that the first thing he does is reach for me to protect him. I can see the pride in his eyes when he accomplishes something he's been working on for months. His look then says to me, "Look Mommy, I did it!" And I look forward to those few times a day when I can slow him down enough to feed him, and I can sit for what little time I have and stare directly into those beautiful blue eyes as he looks back into mine. For these, and so many other, reasons I understand what my purpose in life is...to be the best mother I can be for my little boy. I love you, Brendan, more than I can ever say in words and I am so lucky to be your Mother. Thank you for all the little things that will add joy to every one of Mommy's days.
