Every since you were born, I worried and wondered about whether or not I was being the best parent I could be. Did I make you feel important? Did we find enough time for the little things that live on in happy memories, like laughter and hugs and "just-between-us" moments? Even when we disagreed, did you always know I loved you?
Of all the things in my life that I might have, could have or should have done differently, there's one thing I'd never change, and that's having you for a son.
If I didn't always find a way to say it, I hope I always showed it - I'm so proud to be your mom. I love you, Alex. You always make me want to shout... ."That's MY son!".
Hope you have a wonderful birthday, wish I could be there to celebrate this wonderful day with you. We love you.
` love,
Mom
