Dear Jacob-

It is difficult for me to write this letter. The magnitude of my feeling is more intense than I can express. It is so intense that I want to push it away and embrace it fully in the same moment. I want to weep and shout and sleep and jump and kiss and cuddle and love. I want to stop time and hold you forever. I wake in the morning to the most amazing and overwhelmingly joyful site I have ever seen. After a long night of forgettable dreams you are the best surprise I could hope for. You lay on your side and your plump cheeks squeeze your perfect pink lips open. Jacob, in comparison with the feeling, the words seem empty—I love you!!!

Love, Mommy
