Thank you.
Thank you for the smiles. Thank you for the cuddles. Thank you for the unconditional (and undeserved) love you lavish upon me everyday. Know that I treasure and relish every single hug, every kiss, and will never take them for granted.
Thank you for teaching me, stretching me, expanding me and forming me into a newer and even better version of myself that I never knew I was missing. Thank you for helping my heart explode to proportions that I never knew were possible as it grows every day to attempt to contain all the love I have for you.
Thank you for helping me slow down, helping me notice the small things and appreciate the details of what's around us. As I see life through your eyes as you grow and learn I see the world as I've never even dreamed, seeing it all through a lens of curiosity and wonder untainted by the weight of negativity and pain.
Thank you for being in my life. I know you may not have had a choice in the matter, but I want to thank you anyways. Some day you'll be able to choose how much time you want to spend with me, talk to me, visit me. Know that I appreciate every moment we have together and whatever may come I will continue to relish all the time you choose to give me.
Thank you Lincoln for being you. For the strong, cheeky, stubborn, funny, smart, curious, amazing little bundle you are and continue to grow into every day. Thank you for who you are...and when the days come that it becomes harder to be that, I hope you learn how to love you and never apologise for it.
Thanks for the tears, the laughs, the frustrations, the experiences, the memories.
Thanks for this journey.
Thanks for this journey.
Thanks for letting me be your mum.
Love you to the moon and back.
