Hi, Baby!

Wow, today was such a tear jerker of a day.

You received Student of the Month, again.

I was sitting in the front row, a little tired as I have pnuemonia, but ok. As soon as it was your turn your teacher went on and on and on about how wonderful you were, how smart you were, what a good example to the class you were, try as I might, I couldn’t stop the tears. The more she went on the more amped up I got. I saw you look at me and I noticed you noticed my tears. I felt so bad because I imagined you didn’t know why I was crying and it killed me to think you thought of it any other way other than that it was because I was SO proud of you I just couldn’t take it.

I think I was overwhelmed not only because I was so proud of you but also because I was so proud of myself as your mother. You’re very intelligent, self-assured but not cocky (which I absolutely love!), compassionate and an all around good person. I know it is my duty in life to make your future as good as it can possibly be and when you’re an adult I want to feel extremely confident in saying “I did the best I could”.

Keep up the good work son, I love you so much.

Mommy
