Those of you who know the date on which I pushed this child from my womb will know that the timing is off. It is a journal entry I wrote the week he turned five but didn’t post. Probably because I had no place to post it at the time . . .
Dear G,
You turned five this week.
It’s a milestone for both of us.
You’re handling it better than I am.
We don’t have toddlers at our house any more.
(Sniff)
But we have a lot of interesting faces.
I love your face and your entire squishy cuddly self.
You’ve assured me that you will still cuddle with me when you are 30.
(Sniff)
I hope any other woman in your life at the time doesn’t mind.
My Happy Squish.
I love you to your bones.
Mama

…and I love you to your bones too.
