Well, today is the day. The day I became a mom. The day my life changed forever.
Twelve years ago I held her for the very first time.
Crazy to think 12 years ago this beautiful little girl once lived for a short time…inside my body. The only one that will ever know what my heart sounds like from the inside.
My note to Bay on her 12th birthday:
Bay, you have become such a beautiful young lady. You are kindhearted. You are crazy sensitive. You are STRONG! You are gentle. You are so full of joy. You are fiercely determined. Everything I ever wished you would be!
I promise to always be there for you, support you, and understand who you are. You bring so much light & laughter everyday of my life. I LOVE watching you grow ♥
Love you to the moon & back 1,000 times
xoxo
Mom
My Mom sent me this song a while back and I listen to it all the time. Makes me think of Bay every time.
May you have the confidence to always do your best
May you take no effort in your being generous
Sharing what you can, nothing more nothing less
May you know the meaning of the word happiness
May you always lead from the beating in your chest
May you be treated like an esteemed guest
May you get to rest, may you catch your breath
And may the road less paved be the road that you follow
Here’s to the lives that you’re gonna change
Here’s to the infinite possible ways to love you
I want you to have it
Here’s to the good times we’re gonna have
You don’t need money, you got a free pass
Here’s to the fact that I’ll be sad without you
I want you to have it all
I want you to have it
I want you to have it all
May you keep the chaos and the clutter off your desk
May you have unquestionable health and less stress
Having no possessions though immeasurable wealth
May you get a gold star on your next test
May your educated guesses always be correct
And may you win prizes shining like diamonds
May you really own it each moment to the next
And may the road less paved be the road that you follow
Here’s to the lives that you’re gonna change
Here’s to the infinite possible ways to love you
I want you to have it
Here’s to the good times we’re gonna have
You don’t need money, you got a free pass
Here’s to the fact that I’ll be sad without you
I want you to have it all
I want you to have it
I want you to have it all
All you can imagine
All, no matter what your path is
If you believe it then anything can happen
Go, go, go raise your glasses
Go, go, go you can have it all
I toast you
Here’s to the lives that you’re gonna change
Here’s to the infinite possible ways to love you
I want you to have it
Here’s to the good times we’re gonna have
You don’t need money, you got a free pass
Here’s to the fact that I’ll be sad without you
I want you to have it all
I want you to have it
I want you to have it all
Here’s to you always making me laugh
Here’s to the fact that I’ll be sad without you
I want you to have it all
