What would I do without you?

Who would pick me back up again after I’ve fallen?

Who would text me late at night during the loneliest of hours?

Who would be my coffee partner in crime?

I’m so grateful to you…

Your support, your honesty, your perspective, your kindness, your tips

and helpful advice but most of all,

your shoulder to cry on.

While we all have our own families, jobs and responsibilities to tend to.

There is no one else in the world who will understand the sleepless nights,

the exhaustion, the tantrums and those days spent covered

from head to toe in a variety of bodily fluids.

Thank you for your patience and understanding for when times get tough and

for not ever judging my parenting skills.

But most of all, thank you for the memories we’ve shared on this journey together so far.

Thank you for accepting my child into your world and for being

an inspiring role model throughout their early years.

We’d be lost without you.
