I cannot believe that I have an 18 year old son! Wow! Where does the time go? I can still remember how my life changed forever on the day Matt was born. I was in awe of the miracle of life. I was so glad that he was finally here! At the same time, I was not sure how to be a Mom! It was all so new to me. I remember crying in the hospital uncontrollably when the Doctor told me that he would have to stay for a few extra days. I remember how helpless I felt watching him from behind the nursery glass while he stayed in a special crib with the lights on him and his eyes covered. I could only hold him for feedings. He must have felt so alone and scared. What a rough start! How would we bond? How would he know that he was loved? Well, we got through it. And when he was finally free from his jaundice treatment and I could take him home, we began our journey. And I do believe that he feels loved! He has brought untold joy into my life. It was so wonderful, that I had to do it again, and again, and again!
Happy Birthday Matt! With lots of love from your Mom!
