To My Dear Son,
The journey of motherhood is often accompanied by unexpected challenges, and after your arrival, I found myself facing postpartum depression and anxiety. I want to reassure you that none of this was ever your fault; you are not to blame. Instead, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you.
Thank you for your unwavering presence. I know I struggled to smile at times, but your bright smile has been a constant source of happiness for me. It lights up my darkest days.
Thank you for the invaluable lessons you’ve imparted. You may not realize it yet, but you have taught me so much. Despite my role as your mom, I am still learning alongside you. Our relationship is a shared experience, and I hope you continue to teach me as I guide you.
Thank you for providing clarity and purpose in my life. Before you came along, I often felt lost, trying to navigate life for others. Your arrival has sparked a renewed determination in me to pursue my own dreams, adding meaning to my existence.
Thank you for your patience. There were moments when my depression hindered me from fully engaging with you, and I appreciate your understanding. My love for you is constant, even when I need time for myself.
Thank you for your strong spirit. Your determination to communicate your needs has opened my eyes. When you express your desires, it reminds me of the importance of listening attentively.
Thank you for the new perspectives you’ve given me. Your presence has transformed the way I see the world, and I am grateful for the insights you’ve shared. I will do my best to pass these learnings on to you.
Above all, thank you for being my son. I promise to always strive to be the best mother I can be, and your father and I will always support you.
Lastly, thank you for being my guiding light through it all.
