Dear Tristen, November 12, 2009
8 years ago today was the day that changed my life forever. You came into this world with your eyes wide open and instantly we all fell so in love with you. I held my baby for the first time and I can’t even put into words what you did to me. At that moment when they put you on that warmer I remember looking at your Dad and watching how proud he was to have a son. It was an amazing moment for both of us. We walked into the hospital as 2 kids and walked out as brand new family of 3. We grew up overnight and it was the scariest most life changing moment of my life.
Now about you, I could have never imagined that I would have such an incredible, kind and awesome kid. You amaze me every day. I love how caring you are and how you strive to make people smile. Watching you play sports is one of my favorite things to do. Not only are you a natural athlete, the way you are towards your team is something I will forever be proud of. You are so encouraging and such a great leader; you always make me so proud to be your mom. Your vocabulary is outstanding and I wonder how long it will be until I have to ask you what certain words mean. I have never met such a smart 8 year old in my life. You pick up on things so fast and you remember every detail on every conversation you have.
When I was pregnant with Tanner I remember being so nervous that I wouldn’t be able to spend as much time with you as I did the past 4 years. But when Dad brought you up to the hospital to meet your baby brother you walked right up to him and wanted to hold him and gave him the sweetest kiss on his cheek. At that moment you seemed so grown up and I was a little sad to see you turn into a little boy before my eyes. But no matter how old you are 8, 18 or 80 you will always be my baby.
I just love and adore you so much Tristen,
Thank you for all that you do for me,
