Dear Jameson,
My promise to you..
I'm realizing over this past year, that I'm not superwoman. I'm human, and sometimes even when I'm trying to do everything right, I second guess myself all the time. Your life, luckily is very simple. You, on the other hand are the most complex creature I know. I want to make you a few promises, for our lives ahead.. the way I try to live with you every day, and sometimes need reminders to do so.
I promise to always encourage you before I scold you.
I promise that when I've had a long day, to find just a little more energy for one more game of hide and seek around the house.
I promise I will teach you that my face is full of smiles, kisses and laughter, and not anger or frustration.
I promise you that when I'm frustrated, I'll think of what I can learn about the situation, and what I can help teach you.
I promise to love you as much as you deserve, probably more than you want, and for as long as I'm alive.
I promise I'll hug you more than you want me to, too. Get used to it.
I promise I will always protect you and keep you safe, as best as I'm able.
I promise to live with you, and not for you.
I promise to be patient with you, even when I don't feel like being very patient.
I promise to hold you for as long as you'll let me, and maybe a little longer than that.
I promise I will always be your biggest cheerleader, probably embarrassingly so.
I promise to make your home safe and comfortable, and your food nourishing and tasty.
I promise to teach you how to be a good boy, and a good man.
I promise to respect you, and your individuality. You sure are a character!
I promise to show you how important family is, and how relationships in families need to be nurtured and cherished.
I promise to comfort you, and teach you ways to comfort yourself. For now, hugs, kisses and a rocking chair will do.
I promise to love you forever, unconditionally, no matter what. Pinky promise!
You have taught me how important life is, and a life well lived. You fill up my heart, you have the biggest smile ever. You make me such a better person, and I promise I'll return the favor if you let me.
I love you!
Love, Mommy
