I wrote this to my son when I was 16..... kinda long....
I came across a letter I had wrote to my son when I was 16 and just wanted to share it with everyone.
I woke up at 2am and found my water had broke. I just turned 16 and was on my way to the hospital to have this baby and then give him away to an adoptive family. In labor for 16 hours with no progress we had to do an emergency c section. I was scared and this baby inside of me.... I just wanted to get him out! They preformed the c section and then you Antony came into my life. I heard you cry and then they showed you to me and I felt your black fuzzy hair. I loved you with all my heart. When I came out of recovery, they gave you to me and I held you for the first time. I fed you and burped you, I loved you! Being in the hospital for 3 days I started thinking about my choices. I still could keep you if I wanted but it would be a tough life for us and for you to be in a single parent home. I came home while you were still in the hospital and my heart was broken. I then told my mother, your grandma, that I wanted to keep you. We came home, you had one outfit, and only formula and diapers the hospital gave me. Antony, we come from such a loving family that within an hour of you coming home we had clothes, diapers, food, and a bed. Everything you needed was provided to you from the loving family you have. Then I thought even if it will only be me and you against the world we still have this great supporting family with us.
Love,
Your Mom
This letter reminds me of everything I went through and overcome as a teen mom and reminds me how precious our children are. I'm thinking about writing a letter to this baby also..... Interesting to look back and see what your thoughts and feelings were.
