SPECIAL BIRTHDAY DEDICATION FOR MY TWO CHILDREN

“THE OLDER YOU GET, THE BETTER YOU GET – unless you are a chocolate cookie.

MY DEAR CHIPMUNKS ,

You – Dorothy turn 5 today and You – Patrick born just one day after your sister. I blinked once, and you are already 8 years old. You are such little beings, and so much has already happened in your lives.

Dora – you have already marked yourself with two small scars. In the first year of life, the first scar appeared, and a few weeks ago, the second one, barely visible. While you and your brother were jumping on the bed, you fell and hurt your chin. There was more blood and panic than any medical help. We ended up getting 2 stitches in the hospital and washing blood off the floor until late. The second serious wound appeared on the upper part of the nose after falling from the sofa to the corner of the table. Again, a lot of blood and fear, and the scar, to my surprise, remained small, almost invisible.

Patrick – you’re always more flexible than Dora. You started running after 10 months, like one of the cartoon characters – The Road Runner. You never walk slowly, you never eat slowly, you never speak slowly. Speed is your middle name. So, every fall hit with a bicycle or scooter will only end up rubbing your knees and elbows. One of the painful injuries was a split lip after falling from a spider’s web. This is the only blood adventure my flexible son has had.

MY LOVELY PRECIOUS,

I don’t know how time flies, and you two are now independent and smart children.

Patrick, I remember your first pee. I hope you’ll laugh in the future, but I cried. I’ve been in the hospital with you for 4 days. Underweight baby (2,450 – 5.04 pounds), and the doctor needed your pee for a checkup. And you have nothing, a dry diaper all day. I wanted to be home so much that I started crying. And you peed on the doctor, you must have sensed my pleas.

And you, Dora, I remember your first smile. You were a very calm baby and ate very well (3.540 – 7.06 pounds). You proved perfectly that the baby loves to suck, play and touch the nipples. During breastfeeding, there was always a smile on your chubby, milk-sticky face.

MY FIRST SPECIAL LOVE,

My dear children, I was with you from the beginning, I’m with you now, and I will be with you all my life. When I watched your first steps and failures, I was holding my breath. When your first small successes arise, I hid tears of happiness. I admire your new achievements with a smile and great pride.

I thank you every day for giving me you. Maybe I’m so grateful because we couldn’t have both of you for a long time. Doctors from the infertility clinic helped us believe and make our dreams come true. Without their help, there would be no my greatest love, there would be no you.

You both explore with me a world. On each trip, Patrick collects treasures in the form of stones, leaves, snails, and worms. Runs in tall grass and climbs trees.
Dora is more careful. From time to time, she runs after the ladybug, but as usual, she accidentally falls into a puddle.

MY NEWBORN FOREVER,

I wish I could hold you in my arms forever. Touch your soft hair and small skin to the end of my life. I am growing up mentally as you are growing up physically.

My heart, soul, and mind learn mother’s priorities. I never close my heart, my soul, and my mind to you. Don’t feel bad or sad if you make a mistake. Human mistakes are a normal way of discovering a better life. You will learn from your mistakes, and I will always be with you. I will love you even if the whole world turns away from you. Dorothy and Patrick, you are my two miracles.

In difficult times, I will let you cry in my favorite sweater. Every time, I wait with cuddles and kisses. You can hide in my arms anytime.

My children, I wish you:

♡ A wonderful childhood, mud in your shoes and sand in your hair. Catch life to the full, enjoy it, and don’t be afraid to learn new things

♡ A smile on your face from childhood to adulthood. A sincere smile will open all doors with you and open the soul of every person.

♡ Patrick and Dorothy, I wish you to believe in yourself as much as I believe in you every day.

You are my children, my unique love, and my dream come true.
We wish you a wonderful birthday today and a continuation of wonderful moments in your life.

Dorothy and Patrick, I wish you both, Always be yourself and trust yourself.
