Mother’s Day 2015

My beautiful wife,

If there was one thing I knew for sure when I married you, it’s that you were going to be an amazing mother. Your warmth, loving heart, gentle spirit, and caring soul would most certainly translate to being the kind of mom that any child would love and adore. I’m so grateful we had our time together, just the two of us… traveling, adventuring, relaxing, living. However, throughout that time, I couldn’t wait for us to be a family. I don’t know if there was anything I looked forward to more than to see you as a mother.

Fast forward to the arrival of our sweet Isla Grace, and the vision I had is far surpassed by the reality of who you are as a mother with our beautiful child today.

It’s nearly impossible for me to explain how I feel when I see you embracing our little girl… snuggling her, protecting her, experiencing her. I am continually amazed with your dedication to being her mother.

You were meant to be doing this.

If every mother were like you, we would be surrounded by a world of peace, unending kindness, deep empathy, and, most importantly, unconditional love.

I see so much of you in Isla already. Compassionate, inquisitive, creative, sharp as a tack, snuggly, independent, loving… the list goes on and on.

Every day with our little family is better than the last. I find myself wondering, “how could it get any better than this?” And then, little by little, it becomes something even more brilliant. Something more enchanting. Getting to see Isla blossom each day with you by my side to soak up every wonderful moment… my heart can barely contain the fullness of love.

Happy Mother’s Day to a Mom that is deserving of every day being specially dedicated to her awesomeness. You are the love of our lives!
