Dear Son

"You came into my life, you just made everything right.... Thanks for my child." Cheryl Pepsi Riley 

Dear Son, 

Happy 4th birthday. I remember when I found out I was carrying you. I was a bit apprehensive. I just wanted everything to be perfect. On April 28th, I went in for a routine check up and within 4 hours, you were here. 9lbs 1 oz. the most beautiful perfect little boy. I've loved you from day 1. Life brings about change daily. People come and they go but one thing I can promise is that my love for you will never change. 

Together we will take life by the horns and ride. I want you to understand that as tough as it may seem, you can always talk to me. I'm far from perfect but I'm reasonable. I'll never be your friend but I'll always be your mom. 

The big 4. You've grown so much. You're talking in big boy sentences and you comprehend quite well. You're a bit stubborn at times but in time, this to shall pass. 

I can't wait to enjoy pizza, laughs and cupcakes with you on tonight! And Saturday will be the big turn up, Bowling Party. I love you Matthew Ashton. And I give you my word to never ever leave you, to always support you, to discipline you when wrong and I'll teach you to advocate for what you feel is right. 

Today, I'm thankful for MY child. Happy birthday Son. 

With Everything in me, 

Love Mommy Neka
