1 YEAR!

My Dearest Maxwell,

A year ago today you entered into my life like a hurricane. You tore down all that I knew about life, love, fear, joy and pain. Within the first 5 minutes of you entering this world, my heart exploded with love. An unfathomable love that only a mother knows. My life changed instantly because I knew why God had made me, to be your mommy.

The moment I first held you is indescribable. My body knew just what to do, how to hold you, comfort you, kiss you, love you and soak up each breath that you took. You were so tiny and my arms seemed to swallow you as if we were one. You laid helplessly upon my bare chest and our breaths were synchronized. You calmed me the same way that I calmed you. It was beautiful. Your tears when you were hungry, needed a change, or wanted to be held tore me apart. Your tears hurt more then any pain I had ever experienced.

I remember our first night together. As daddy was sleeping peacefully it was just you and me. I nervously held you up to my breast so you could nurse and your deep breaths, closed eyes, and heavy body made me fall even more in love with you. I couldn't get enough of you. Although I was physically exhausted, emotionally I was more awake then ever.

Over this past year I have cried more then I ever have, I have prayed more then I ever have, I have laughed more then I ever had, and I have fallen in love more deeply a million times.

You have truly made my life so special. You are my joy! And as our tomorrows turn into yesterdays just remember my love for you will never end.

Maxwell, this past year I have discovered how to live my life to the fullest. And my dear son, you are the reason I know this. You love life and are such a happy little boy. I love you to the moon and back and even more then that.

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY
MAXWELL!
