A Letter to my sons

Some of you might have seen this post on my facebook page. I decided to post it here as well.

November 8, 2001 and August 6, 2004 are two dates I will never forget. They were days filled with intense pain and unspeakable happiness; paralyzing fear and unyielding strength. To both of you it’s your birthdays, a day for parties, cake, candy and toys. For me it’s much more. Those two days taught me I could do anything, once I forgot about fear. These two dates empowered me for the rest of my life.
AJ you taught me I am stronger than I give myself credit for. And, no matter how much “life” hurts, keep pushing towards the goal. Because at the end of the tears and pain is a brand new beginning.
CJ you taught me the true meaning of patience and unconditional love. Seeing the world through your unique eyes is an experience I am grateful to be a part of. It’s matched only by teaching you something new and enhanced greatly when you say “Hi Mommy. How was your day?”
Through your births I found my purpose, being your Mom gives me joy and true happiness. It’s the reason why my heart beats and a smile will always be on my face. No matter what you do, who you become or where you go; know that the both of you are my greatest accomplishments and I will always love and cherish you. I thank God for the blessing of being your parent.
I love you to the moon and back.
