Tomorrow my eldest monkey is 8… EIGHT, I simply cannot
believe how the time has flown it seems like only yesterday I heard him cry for
the first time in surgery and then held him for the first time in NICU.

His birth was not an easy one and the road we have traveled
so far even less so, but the pride I feel when I look at my Loghan monkey today
is ever growing and the love I have for him unending.
So today I would just like to put together a few words for
my Loghan- Bear who everyday surprises me in glorious ways unending….
Loghan Bear (or monkey sometimes)
If I had foreseen the journey we would travel together as
mom and child and as one family then as a separate blended family I wouldn’t change
a thing because every moment with you; even the not so happy ones are ones that
I will cherish because you have been a part of them.
The pride I feel for you on a daily basis with every new
step and improvement you make overcoming your adhd, you have proved so many
people around you wrong and shown them that you are the amazingly bright and
spirited child we all knew you were and that you can overcome everything that
comes your way if people just give you a chance and a bit of understanding and
patience.
You are clever, your mathematical ability surpasses most of
those around you even adults, you are witty and love to laugh and play around,
but you are also so incredibly sensitive and loving, you help those around you
who don’t have a friend or a helping hand because you know even at the tender
age of 8 what it feels like to be in their shoes, you give the most amazing
hugs and loves to those who need it and thrive off praise like a flower to
water in the springtime.
I have watched you grow form this tiny bundle who fit into
the crook of my arm into a fiery rambunctious toddler, into a young boy who was
scared of everything and now you are fast approaching the pre- teen stage that
leaves you yearning for answers at every point you turn at, you have helped me
grow and learn as a mom and have taught me so much more than I feel I will ever
teach you, and I want to say thank you for that.
Thank you for making me a mom, for being patient when my
mothering skills have needed coaxing, for giving me hugs when I have felt
unwell or down, for making me smile and push forward when I have wanted to give
in or give up and for teaching me patience and understanding I never knew I
lacked before.
You will always be my baby no matter how much you grow, my
Loghan, you will always be my heart.
Love you to the moon and back more than all the jelly tots
chocolates and hugs in the world.
