An Open Thank You Letter to My Mom
Dear Mom, Now that I am a Mom myself, I realize there are so many things you must have gone through raising three kids that I never understood until now. I wanted to write to you to share with you, and anyone else who wants to hear about you, how grateful I am for everything you do. First of all, thanks for deciding that one child was not enough for you and Dad. Imagine if you were a one and done kind of family? Thank you for safely keeping me in your womb for months, all while chasing Alison around I'm sure. I know you expected me to be a boy, or probably wanted a boy since you already had a girl. Thank you for always making me feel special, even though I was the second born. Thank you for my middle name. I carry Christopher in my heart forever and always. Thank you for the gift of the best guardian angel that I never knew, but I know that I have. I feel him with me all the time. He's my silent cheerleader. Thank you for your patience. Through endless doctors appointments ...
