To My Son Daniel
Daniel, you are my babe. My love for you is so special. You were such a happy babe you always smiled no matter what so we called you “smiley”. You would always crawl to the kitchen and take out all my pots and pans and start banging them around. You would stick the bowls on your head and laugh with smashed cookie al l over your face. In the middle of the night you would crawl in bed next to me and Dad would get so mad but I would say “he’s my last baby I want him to be my baby as long as he wants to be”. You grew up so fast. Before I knew it; it was time for you to start school you cried because you wanted to stay home with me and I tried to hold back my tears as I told you it would be ok I’ll be here to get you after school. You gave me such a sad look I would cry leaving you there but after a few days you couldn’t wait to go to school. I never wanted you to grow up but I knew that was impossible. As you started to get bigger I was so unhappy because I knew it wouldn’t be long before you would be liking girls and wanting to go out places and one day you will tell me your in love just like your brother did and then tell me you want to get married. I can’t stop you and I can’t keep you from growing up but you will always be my babe.
