My greatest goal is that my children always know how much I love them and that they will always know that I would support them in whatever way I can throughout their entire lives.

To my children: I adore you with all of my being; you are the reason I am who I am today. May God richly bless you and keep you safe at all times.

The wisest thing I ever did with my life was to find you.

My lap may not be big enough for you, but my heart will always be big enough.

Even while my heart knows that you are an adult now, I don’t. You will always be my lovely baby in my heart.

Even though I haven’t always been a great person, I will never regret having brought you into the world.

I recognize the best aspects of myself in you, but you’ve enhanced every one of those traits.

Know that I’m always a phone call away if things become tough, your friends turn against you, or your luck seems to be running out.

I understand that you must choose your own route, but let my love be the light that leads the way.

Watching another adult move through the world while my heart is still pounding inside of me is a lovely thing.

I adore you as the infant you once were and as the adult you have become.
