Two years ago, around eleven AM I welcomed you into this world. I said goodbye to wild college days, and hello to single motherhood. When you came into my world, I had never known how much I could really love a person, but you hold the key to my heart, Hudson, you are my world. You are my life. In case you did not know the story behind you, I will share this with you now.
I was sitting in Hillgrove, two positive pregnancy tests later. I was close to passing out while two of my best friends were celebrating their new relationship. I remember not knowing how to tell your grandparents, how to tell your dad, and how I would finish my college career. I thought since those two tests were cheap, yeah, I was not pregnant, it was just in my head. Do not worry, because you gave me the worst morning sickness of my entire life, and it always hit me during Spanish. I tried hiding you from everyone, but I was always sick and my clothes started to not fit. When did I tell your grandparents? I was four months pregnant and failing most of my classes. I did not care though, I realized then that you were my best friend and my lifeline.
Fast forward a few months later. You came along, your grandmother by my side. I remember the pain, but even more so, I remember the love I felt for you the moment I saw you. How tiny you were, how soft and snuggly you felt, and how you looked at, like you have known me for years, yet we had just met. Welcome to the world Hudson, because I just met my best friend. You will always be mommy's best friend.
Now, two years later, I still feel the same way I always did when I saw you as a newborn. Now, you are half my size and running everywhere. Your curly brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes are the one thing that gets me through the day. I know mommy works a lot, but that is to ensure that we have a future ahead of us. I work for you and our bright future. I know at times I am stressed out and I feel like I am half the mother you deserve, but I love you more than anyone that has ever walked in my life. You have the sweetest, kindest, and loving heart. I am so lucky when God decided to make you my son, when I got the blessing of being your mom and raising you. You healed my depression and saved me from my own self. You will be the best, the brightest. Remember everyday that you are given is a day that you can make a difference. I will always be by your side. I had a friend once tell me that you and I will rule the world one day, and that is what our goal will be, not the world, but our own little world. We will succeed. Thank you for making me a mommy. Happy Birthday Hudson Roger. I love you.
