The day you was born I vowed to myself to try to be a perfect mom
to you one that you could be very proud of I was so proud of you I would tell everyone "Thats My Son"

I was so sure I would be a perfect mom but it didn't take me long to realize that there isn't any perfect parents we dont get lessons in this

one thing I didn't need lessons on was how to love you it was so natural to love you with all of my heart

Now you are all grown up I just wanted to be sure you knew son I have never been ashamed of you on any thing you believe in

you have always been very much the son I have wanted and I am still proud to tell everyone "Thats My Son"

I Love You Son
Terry for your birthday 5/20/03

I can imagine many things, but can not imagine having a mother who would say these things.  I hope your son feels as fortunate as he should feel.  Thank you for sharing this.
