one year of...
learning to listen
watching you grow
giving all of myself to you
hearing your cries of pain and joy
doubting myself
being in constant motion
softening at the sight of your smile and the sound of your laugh
finding balance
discovering myself in you
inhaling your sweet baby scent
moving between euphoria and desolation
trying to be present in the moment
singing, and singing, and singing
dancing with my own demons
redefining expectations
fighting the tendency to go on autopilot
knowing you by heart
finding myself in your company during the dark hours of the night
dreaming of your future
creating memories
knowing that, for you, I would do it all a thousand times over
one year to realize that I couldn't possibly describe all the ways that I love you
Happy birthday, Miles!

Happy birthday, little one.
And happy day to mommy...who did all the work a year ago (and much of it since).
Beautiful. Happy Birthday Miles.
What a wonderful poem for a growing up Miles to ready about his one year anniversary. He will appreciate it especially when he has children of his own. However, I don't want to think about that because I will be ready to move onto the next world then . . . . on second thought, maybe that won't be such a bad experience.

Happy Birthday little man! You have been a wonderful mother and have a beautiful son! Congrats to you and David!
