Dear Liam,

When the midwife told me I was having a boy, I cried. I cried because I had to return all the pink clothes I bought! Months later at the baby shower, a friend told me - you'll love having a boy. boys love their moms. And that was the best thing anyone had ever told me...because it was true!

I'm not going to go on and on about what a wonderful, sweet, smart and cute boy you are. Nor am I going to go on and on about how you are the best son, brother and grandson. I just want to say thank you for being all those things.

Thank God for you.

Love, Mom.
