Dear Layla,
Thank you for giving me the privilege of being a mom. After having you, did i realize how much I've always wanted to be a mom. You've been everything I've prayed for and more. When i was pregnant, i silently prayed for a healthy, adventurous, curious, happy, chatty baby that's eager to learn and explore. Thank YOU for hearing my prayer. And Thank you, Layla, for showing us (your papa and i) how much we are able to love beyond what we thought we knew was love.
This journey is not without its struggles though. As much as i enjoy being your mother, i am faced with challenges, dilemmas and insecurities daily, some days are bigger than others. But I'm grateful for the support, im grateful we have our strong family unit, i am grateful we have each other to get us through each day. Despite the challenges, we start each day and end off every night with a smile on our faces and our hearts.
Your existence prompt me to reevaluate on my values, my behaviour, my beliefs, my conversations, my thoughts, my relationships, my future, my fears, my time, my health. I will strive to be as authentic as i can as a mother, building a trusting and respectful relationship with you. I am here not to teach, i am here to learn. I am human, and i will make mistakes, but i must remind myself to always practise self-compassion.
This is just the beginning. I don't know how the road ahead is gonna be, but let's go, let's have fun!
I love you Layla Woo. ❤
