A Letter To My Son
becoming a mother has changed me in ways i didn't know it would
& as if my soul couldn't become more passionate about life & love,
it has seriously gone to a WHOLE new level.
our sweet babe somehow turned 6 months yesterday & I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY.
shocking, i know.
since having Jobie, my brain has been twirling with ideas & posts & thoughts to share…
so much so that it all has felt a bit overwhelming (in a good way).
so today, as promised, is just the start. i'm dusting off the good ol' finger tips & beginning by sharing a letter i wrote to my son, with a monthly picture sprinkled in between!
a couple quick notes to share first :
>> the stuffed animal, also know as 'LeMutt", & blankie that Jobie is pictured with below were my husband's as a child
>> a full birth story post to come
>> i couldn't get Jobie to stop shimming down the chair for his 6 month photo… which, of course, he thought was absolutely
hilarious. can't wait to see what transpires for our monthly photos in the next 6 months as he becomes more mobile!
my dearest Jobie Voja,
you are 6 months old today, March 24th, 2015,
& i can easily say that for the past 6 months i have started this letter to you far too many times in my head…
yet when it came to putting the pen to paper, i would seem to freeze --
& as if my soul couldn't become more passionate about life & love,
it has seriously gone to a WHOLE new level.

my dearest Jobie Voja,
you are 6 months old today, March 24th, 2015,
& i can easily say that for the past 6 months i have started this letter to you far too many times in my head…
yet when it came to putting the pen to paper, i would seem to freeze --
absolutely INDESCRIBABLE,
tremendous LOVE
i have for you…
HOPES,
DREAMS &
WISHES
for you in a single letter?"
& then it hit me -- I can't.
it is truly an impossible feat.
i can at least begin to describe to you what it means to be a Mom to you…
and how you single-handedly changed my life for the better
& gave me an ENTIRELY new outlook the moment you were born.
and my love for you
(as if it can't be ANY bigger already)
grows EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.
i literally miss you when you are sleeping.
is just the start.
& the best part is,
there will NEVER be an ending
because my love for you
will follow you wherever you go...
all of my love,
your Mama
