LETTERS TO MY SON

1st letter

My First Love

Before I knew your face,

I carried a dream.

Then one day, God placed you in my arms,

And nothing in my world was ever the same.

You taught me a love so deep

That words could never fully explain.

A love that celebrates every smile,

And whispers hope through every pain.

You are the laughter in my home,

The sunshine after every storm,

The little hand that reaches for mine,

Making even ordinary days feel warm.

Now, as your little sibling grows beneath my heart,

I watch you with quiet wonder.

You care for me with gentle hands,

Never knowing how much those moments mean.

You are becoming a young man of kindness—

Strong not because of your size,

But because your heart chooses compassion,

Even when no one is watching.

My son, the world may change around you,

But never let it change the goodness within you.

Be humble when you succeed,

Be brave when life is hard,

Be gentle with those who are hurting,

And always remember where love begins.

No matter how many birthdays pass,

You'll forever be my first miracle,

My answered prayer,

The child who taught me what unconditional love truly is.

And if one day you ever wonder

How deeply you are loved,

Look at the stars that fill the night sky—

Then know my love for you reaches even farther.

Forever and always,

You will be my first love,

My greatest blessing,

And the most beautiful chapter of my life.

Love always,

Mum. ❤️
