Card from the Future
10:21 am in Birth and Post Partum, Year 0 (newborn) to 1 by Mom at 38
I received this card over the weekend…
Dear Mommy,
I don’t know how to write yet and I’m too little to hold a pen, so I asked Daddy to write this for me.
I thought I’d take time out of my busy schedule of feeding, napping, and keeping you awake to tell you that I’m thankful to have you as my Mommy. I know that being a mommy is a difficult job, and a seemingly thankless one sometimes. So, here are some things I wanted to thank you for:
- For carrying me for nine months in your tummy
- For keeping me safe and sound as I grew inside
- For putting your body through it all (Daddy says you’ll be “100%” soon!)
- For giving up foods you liked when you were pregnant
- For your discomfort and sleepless nights from hip pain
- For loving me before you saw me
- For going through the pain to give birth to me
- For taking care of me when I was sick in the hospital
- For feeding me when I’m hungry at any time, day or night
- For holding me when I want you close
- For changing and cleaning me when I’m wet or poopy
- For playing with my legs and arms
- For burping me when I have gas
- For keeping me warm when I’m cold
- For carrying me to put me to sleep
- For paying constant attention to me
- For calming me down when I fuss
- For putting your work on hold to take care of me
- For staying awake with me when I can’t sleep
- For staying close to me so I can feel you near
- For singing me ABBA songs
- For taking me on walks
- For talking to me (I talk back too, but you don’t understand me yet)
- For your kissies and huggies
- For your constant concern and care
- For your patience, as I know it’s hard when you’re so tired
There’s so much more but I’m sleepy and need to nap before you feed me next. So, before I drift off to sleep again, I want you to know that you’re a wonderful mommy, and I’m so glad that you’re mine. I love you, Mommy.
Your son, “Baby J”
This card was actually from my husband, of course. I was so touched that I cried and cried.
