“You are eternally of me my child, and I am forever made new (and better) by you”

(I may have added the “(and better)” to what was otherwise a rather beautiful quote!🤣🤣🤣)

But it’s amazing how much this boy has changed me - and I swear he has made me a much better person than I was before him!

I think it’s fair to say I was pretty rough around the edges with very little patience. 🙈 But his arrival into the world brought with it almost immediate calm and a level of tolerance, patience and compassion I didn’t know I had.💙

And as soon as we got his diagnosis it was like I finally slowed down and took time to appreciate everything - about him and how lucky I am to have him - and how lucky I am to be on this journey of motherhood.☺️

It was also his diagnosis that brought a real sense of perspective to my life - he will always be the most important thing. And I went from planning on taking 6 months of maternity leave, to deciding to spend my savings to take a whole year. Best decision we ever made.🙏

Cause this boy has made my life so much more vibrant than it was before.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍

Thank you for making me a better person little man 🥰
