Drew,
Tomorrow you start your first day at school. This is a big day.
Long before we knew you, we loved you and imagined all the amazing things you would do and the incredible person you would become. You, my sweet baby, have exceeded every hope and dream we had for you.
When I held you in my arms for the very first time, I remember holding you so gently, protectively, and with all the love I had. Tomorrow, I'll be doing almost the exact same thing for your first day at school. I'll hold your hand...so gently, protectively, and lovingly...as we embrace the next adventure in your little life.
Tonight I read you a stack of books to get you ready for your 1st day...they were just as much for me as they were for you.
Tonight is bittersweet. You are growing up so fast, too fast. I wish I could make time stand still and soak up all your silliness, giggles, snuggles, and kisses!
Sometimes, I wish I could keep you little but I love watching you grow into the most inquisitive, hilarious, and loving little boy. You are so brave and adventurous. I love your fascination with dinosaurs, your forever love of Lightening McQueen, and your contagious laugh. You are going to be great tomorrow...you'll make new friends, you'll learn new songs, and you are going to have so much fun. I can't wait to hear about all the fun things you do and about all the exciting things you learn.
This is one of those moments you might not remember...but I will. I absolutely will and I will treasure this first because I love you and you are so very special to me.
Love you always and forever,
Momma
