The New Age Mum

My darling dear, today marked the 3 years you have been with me. I can’t tell you how happy and scared I am.

Scared that you are unhappy with me because I am not a good mum to you;

Scared that you will be bullied or you will turn to a big bully.

Scared that I will unintentionally create sibling rivalry between you and Damir because you might think that I love him slightly more

Scared that you might be a slow learner because I can’t teach you as many things as I want to due to my own ignorance.

Ok I am worried of everything a mother will be but as of now I can’t tell you how proud I am because you are my son.

You have a big heart for a 3 year old;

You protect your brother well for a 3 year old;

You help out in the family in the best way you can for a 3 year old;

The way you hug and tissue my tears away whenever I am sad is perhaps more than what a 3 year old can do; and

The way you try to protect me whenever your dad pretends to bully me touches my heart in the way I have never felt before.

Because of you, I have learnt love and respect.

Because of you, I have learnt to cherish my every day to live to the fullest with you and Damir.

Because of you, I am always learning as I try to quench your thirst for knowledge.

Because of you, I am trying to be a better person so that I can set an example for you and Damir.

You have brought my memories as child and yet at the mean time, you brought me a whole new perspective for our future.

Words can never describe how glad and how proud I am to have you as my son.

Happy 3rd Birthday my Dearest Darling Clemens
