There are no words for what I feel today

Dear Sam,
My heart is overflowing with gratitude for you today.  As we danced to Christmas music you fell asleep in my arms and it was delightful Mommy moment for me. One that I will remember forever.
You are getting so big, Sam.  As I rocked you and watched you sleep it amazes me how big you are and how much you have grown up since last Christmas.  It seems like yesterday I was rocking a little baby and now I am rocking a little boy. 
While you slept tears rolled down my cheeks as gratitude poured though my veins.  Gratitude that you are healthy, happy, growing and smart.  Gratitude that I am your Mommy.  Gratitude for your fat little toddler hands and your beefy thighs. Gratitude for the little boy you are becoming.

Today, and always I will always be grateful to be your Mommy. 

I love you, Son! Thanks for a very fun afternoon.

Love always,
Mommy
