A letter to my son & his father

My son, on this day last year was the very first time I saw you. The very first time I heard that perfect heartbeat & the moment it actually really hit me that I was pregnant and growing a life inside of me. It’s bittersweet. Sweet because obviously you are the greatest thing to have ever happened to me. Bitter because this was the first and only time your daddy got to see you. I’ll never forget the look on his face seeing that little peanut on the screen and hearing your heartbeat. I could tell he was already so in love and so proud.

Justin, our relationship was nowhere near perfect, it was really rocky at times. It’s taken me a while to come to terms with everything that’s happened. And although sometimes you weren’t the best to me, you gave me our son. And I could never be thankful enough for that. He really is the perfect combination of you and I. As life goes on and as we get older, you’ll never be forgotten. You’ll always be Berkeley’s daddy. Thank you.
