A Letter to My Son
When you think of the love of a mother, this letter written by Gamila to her son Julian comes to mind:
"Dear Julian,
I am so excited to tell you my
favorite memory of your childhood. Although, you may have heard this story
plenty of times before, it is one of my favorite memories because at that
moment I knew you were very special.
You were not even three years old
and your little brother was about three months old. Dad and I were very
exhausted from going to the hospital a lot with your little brother, Jaden.
Jaden was screaming and crying and I guess Dad and I slept through all the
crying; so then you decided to make your brother a bottle. You moved the chair to the counter, opened
the powered baby formula (milk), took a measuring cup and measured the powdered
milk and poured it into Jaden’s bottle.
As you were going to add the water, I heard a noise in the kitchen and
saw you standing in the chair making his bottle. Not only was I shocked to see
you making the bottle, I was very surprised that you measured the exact amount
that should have been in his bottle. As I asked you, "why didn't you wake
mommy or daddy?” … you said, “because you were very tired and I knew Jaden was
hungry.”
Mom knew at that moment you were
one of the most intelligent, caring, special, and brave young man that I could
have ever known and you still prove that to me every day. I am very thankful to
have a son like you and if you don't hear it enough you are special, you are
smart, and you are loved beyond belief and I would like to thank you for being
such a great role model to your brother and an awesome son to me.
Love Mom."
