I can't believe it has been 12-and-a-half years since we first met. We've come a long way from our days at Kokernot, The Center, and 1911. From our days going to Alpha Chi meetings after, ahem, a Ninfarita or two. From our days of jumping in the car, driving around, and randomly deciding to buy a dog...with Kelly's money. From our days of road trips to Florida, California and Colorado. From our days of taking shots of various types of alcohols that were never meant to be taken as shots. From our days of skipping class to sleep in, and riding around in the Bus at 3am with water balloons and squirt guns.
We've come a long, long way.
Because now I am a mom. And you...you are about to be one. Well, technically, you have been one for awhile. But just you wait. Just you wait until that little man is in your arms for the first time, and you hear his first breath. Just you wait until that moment when he looks into your eyes and your entire world melts into that one special connection between the two of you.
You will spend so many hours over the next few years - well, probably forever - looking at your sweet little babe and wondering how it was possible that you created such a miracle. That this walking, talking human being came from you. You will never have the answer to why you have been so blessed, but you can only assume that God had something to do with it...which means you will most likely spend a lot of time in the future thanking Him.
The two of us are members of a club that many women may never have the privilege of belonging to, whether by choice or circumstance. We, my friend, are so blessed.
Congratulations on being blessed with one of the most amazing journeys in the world. I have no doubt you are going to be one amazing mother, and I can't wait to see you with your son. I'm already so excited to meet him.
I love you, my friend. MOST.
