You have a softness about you right now.
And it’s beautiful.
So natural.
A reflection of who you are becoming.
You love to cuddle.
You ask for kisses.
You can be so gentle.
And I hope it never fades.
Even when you’re older.
Even when you’re no longer a little boy.
Especially when you feel like being called a “mummy’s boy” is no longer a compliment.
Because you will always be my boy.
I will always be your mum.
And we will always have parts of each other.
So my darling boy,
My little lad,
My one-day-your-own-man,
It makes no difference.
My arms will always be open.
My heart will always be waiting.
You will always have a key to my front door.
