to my almost one year old.

to my almost one year old:

oh asher, 

your big open mouthed kisses, your curly wispy blond hair, your ever-willing smile, your wiggling and giggling on the bed, the way you tip your head back and do your ridiculous old man chuckle, the way you sing with me, the way you great each morning with hugs and kisses and cuddles.

oh asher,

 you are the sweet happy sunshine in my sky.

thank you for coming into my life, 

for growing inside me, for bringing me life and birth and new love, 

for allowing me to mother and cherish you
all the days of my life.
