to my aiden.
oh aiden.
where do i begin?
I see so much of me in you.
We have a super special connection. Maybe it’s because that crazy start we both had….all those emotions. Maybe it is that you have slept in my arms almost every night for the past 3 years. Or maybe it’s just because we share a lot of the same strengths and weaknesses.
regardless, i adore you. beyond adore.
a few nights ago daddy showed you a video of me….the music was slow, I was laughing in slow motion- and you began to cry. tears streaming down your face. I was completely struck by the beautiful, raw, pure love you have for me. it’s perfect. I wish I could bottle it up forever.
last night before you fell asleep you told me that I make you happy.
well you my sweet aiden…make me so happy, so proud- so full. You brought meaning to my life that I never knew existed. when you came, something changed in me forever.
I pray that you will know and love and serve God as you grow older. I cannot wait to see you chase your dreams.
you will be three next month. I cant believe it. already! I love watching you grow and change. Its beautiful, you are beautiful.
Letting you go will always be a struggle for me. Im trying. open hands.
I love you a.

Amazing. I love the pure hearts of children. I love that you are willing to share something so precious with the world through your blog. I don't know you, Casey, but please know always that God is using you so much. Right now I have chill bumps and tears because I see the love of our Jesus in you and your family and that makes me want to jump and cry and clap my hands altogether. Your heart is so transparent and I adore that.
Wow this was a very sweet post. Your son is beautiful!
Aiden is just pure sugar. Such a sweet soul.
I love your mama's heart.

Your boy is adorable, what a sweet soul to see his momma and have such strong emotions, that really touched my heart! What a special bond you two have. Such a blessing from God! Just think, how much your son loves you and how much you love him is just a glimpse of how much our father God loves us and cries with us, smiles with us, laughs with us! Awesome.

Such a sweet letter. A mother's love for their children is amazing.
I may have already commented on this. I read it the day you posted it but can't remember if I left a comment.
Regardless, this is beautiful and I love it. You are such an inspiration and little Aiden is one lucky duck to have you as his mama.
