In two days, I will be the mother of a three year old....YES....My "baby" is turning three and I'm still in on how fast time flies.
Everyone warned me how fast time would fly and how I need to enjoy every minute of it. For the most part I have, give or take a few days of "ugh..can this day end already", but overall, I still remember the day my water broke and 18 hours later, voila, I had a baby like it was yesterday.
The sad part of it all is that his birthday reminds me of the day I truly became a single parent. I mean, I've always been, but for his first year, his father was very much a part of his life. But two weeks after his first birthday, he left the country and never looked back. Or should I say, never looked back to his son since he has admitted to coming to the States since (but never called).
The past two years have been hard but I have learned so much about myself. I've learned that just when you think you can't go on, you can. I've learned that you will do anything for your child. I've learned that broken hearts do mend in time as long as you give yourself the opportunity to heal. I can go on, but you get the idea. People always say "God doesn't give us more than we can handle" and I've always agreed. But it wasn't until I was faced with a sick child by myself (besides my family), that I realized how true this was....
So happy birthday pumpkin! I can't wait to continue growing with you! Mommy loves you!
