My dearest precious Abbey and Katie,
I never knew how amazing being a mother could be. Really.
I never knew being a mother could give me such pleasure. Ever.
I never knew that I could feel so much happiness.
I never knew I could laugh so hard.
I never knew I could feel so awe-inspiring proud of you.
I never knew you could be so breathtakingly beautiful that you would take my breath away.
I never knew I could feel such joy as watching as you run and jump, squeal and giggle.
I never knew I could love so deeply it hurt.
I never knew my heart could be so full of love.
I never knew how wondrous it would feel to hold your tiny little hand.
I never knew how amazing it would feel to be kissed by you.
I never knew how sweet you could smell.
I never knew I would feel so much emotion when you climbed onto my lap.
I never knew how crazy excited I would get as you took your first step.
I never knew that you would be all I ever needed.
I never knew that you would be so stupendously smart that I would gush with pride.
I never knew I could feel such sadness as watching you cry and not knowing why.
I never knew my heart would swell with such pride when you called me "mommy" for the first time.
I never knew the joy I could feel as hearing you say "I love you mommy".
I never knew what it meant to be a "mother". Now I do.
Thank you for allowing me to love you and be your mommy.
I promise to always and forever love you.
Love Mommy
