Hello August, Hello little man, Happy 8th birthday. You have had my heart for 8 whole years. Every time when I blink, you grow. Every time when I thought I have figured out how to be your mother, then I turn around, you have evolved into a different person. Now I know you are inviting me to be awake in the moment and evolve with you.
From time to time, your adventurous spirit has kept me on my toes, but at the same time your big heart has generously made so many profound moments that sparkle the deepest part of my being. Thank you for lighting up my world since the every first moment I met you.
We have celebrated so many “firsts” together and I will not risk letting any “lasts” slip by unnoticed. The last hand hold, the last snuggle, the last book, the last nightly conversations, the last whole story of your day… I will fully soak in to capture all the richness before they are the “lasts” as I don’t know when they will be. I am very grateful to make your last few days of being 7 spectacular with you.
Today is your first day of being 8. I don’t just wish you to be happy but I really wish you to experience all tastes of life wholeheartedly with your playful heart including the crazy ones as I have witness your resilience moving through it to another side. Now spread your wings and go explore the magic of the world, You will find you are your own magician!
You know it, I love you ALWAYS no matter what.
