10 years ago today, I gave my heart away..to a little boy named Matthew Slade Farquharson!
I will never forget the day he was born. I was getting induced, and I had to be at the hospital at 6:00 a.m. I could not sleep, and finally got up at 3. For 2 full hours, I sat alone, in the dark, and cried. You see, I already had a 2 1/2 year old little girl who was perfect. I was so deeply in love with her, that I truly did not think I could love my son like I did her. I cried for him, I cried for me, and I cried to God. How could I possibly give him the love I already had for Sydney Claire? There is no way I could ever love another person the way I did my 1st born right? Well, I went in the hospital, terrified. I had a pretty good labor, but a terrible delivery. After pushing for 4 hours, I was done. And the Dr. could see it. His nurse gently told me that "The Dr. does a beautiful Forecep delivery"..In that second, the "mom" came out of me, and I said NO..Give me one more try...and the very next push he was out, and one second is all it took, for me to look at him, and realize something about me will never be the same. I FELL IN LOVE. I looked at his father who knew my struggle with worrying that I could not feel the same about him that I did our daughter, and with tears streaming down my face, I said "I LOVE HIM...I LOVE HIM SO MUCH"...That night, I would not let him go. I felt so much love for this little boy, and I knew he would have my heart.
10 years later..I love him more and more everyday! He is by far the sweetest little boy I have ever known.
My life is crazy. My life is exhausting. My life is NOT how I pictured it would be....but at the end of the day, I can take one look at my children, and know, I AM SO BLESSED.
Happy Birthday to my perfect son. I am so proud of you, and the young man you have grown into. You make me smile when I do not think I have a smile left in me.
And thank you God for making him mine!
