Dillon: Friends & Wishes

Dillon,
At first you were just a dream
The dream of a brave young mommy
that taught me patience
that was worth the wait

You are my first born
The cuddling recipient of first-time mothering…
of underwhelming technique
of overwhelming love

For a time you were my only dream
Then more dreams became for your little sister…
to divide my attention
to multiply my love
You are my original dream

The dream that I live everyday…
to wake and keep dreaming
to hug and kiss in wiggling resistance
Happy 7th birthday Dillon
