My son, Spenser turns two tomorrow.

All I can do is feel grateful. Still. After two years, I am in a constant state of gratitude. I’ve never been that person who talks about gratitude all the time… before Spenser, that is.

I am changed.

Everyday, I love myself even more for deciding to have him. I’m proud of myself for fighting through my fears, nerves and questions. I could have said I’ll just wait and see if I meet someone or I can’t do this alone.

But I didn’t.

These two years have been unquestionably the best of my life.

Happy Birthday, my sweet Spenser. I’m yours forever.
