To Eitan, From Mommy

hey eitan,



here you are sitting on my lap because you felt safe there. whenever you felt something was off or a little bit insecure, you'd always want me right there with you.



here's you running to me with that expression of excitement because aunty cat told you to go and give mommy a kiss.



you ran towards me smiling as you had a mission to succeed-- to kiss me. well, you're only 15 months old and after few seconds of running towards me, you forgot your mission and ran past me to meet a stranger. it didn't matter that you didn't kiss me, the best part was seeing the light in your eyes when you were told to go and "give mommy a kiss."



there's you, running past me and gregariously chatting up with a stranger who knew sign language.



here's a quick self-potrait of your two mommies and you're chewing something and gleefully announcing that there were lights blinking.

anyway...
i cannot, nor can any mother, explain how much i really, really and really love you. it's amazing and i think it's when i'm truly, at a rarity, speechless to write how i feel.

love ya lil' bugger,
mom
