You are not a problem, not a burden. You, my son, are a gift. I am so grateful for you, and words can't even begin to describe how much I cherish your presence in my life and in this world. Today, and everyday, remember that you are deeply deeply loved, exactly as you are, and that I am so damn proud of you.

Made fresh fire roasted salsa today!! The recipe calls for 2-3 jalapeños OR 2 serranos... heh... we put 2 serranos and 5 jalapeños lol! Oh and hot hatch chiles.. it's just got a little bit of heat 😈

We made poblano & corn chowder yesterday, and ratatouille for tomorrow. Oh! AND we have a cantaloupe and two watermelons! Everything except the cilantro fresh picked. I love late summer food. You will have to teach me your favourites, mother & son cooking time :D

We had some shooting stars... I wished for you... I've always wished for you 💙

Love you to the moon and back dear heart, always 

I made things for everyone else. I made a ferret for Siya and a tiger for her brother, I made a bunny for Kyle, a golden eagle for Cassie, and a raccoon for Dawn (Siya's suggestion)... I'd make something for Dee too but I have no idea what he might like. Dee if you're out there seeing this... let me know bro, doesn't have to be a stuffy... I do blankets, scarves, beanies...

WHERE ARE YOU MY FERAL GOOBER??? 

Think of the most love that you could possible feel, multiply that by a million, and then include an insane desire to protect, and willingness to sacrifice anything to keep them safe. Wild, endless, complete, unconditional, boundless love... that's how much I love you kiddo. You gave me the greatest gift in the world, one I didn't think I wanted or even deserved. You are my greatest blessing, my biggest weakness, and the best thing that has ever happened to me . 

I love you J, and that will never end 💙

Since you love fruit like me! It's peak peach season omg. There's a lot of orchards around here so a lot of local grown fruits. Best peaches come from Maryhill though. Maryhill is just up the road from Stonehenge, and has a lovely art museum with stunning views. That is off topic though, I need you to help eat fruit cause I am just one person and can't eat it all before it goes bad 😭

I will never ever give up on you kiddo. You're my son, and my best friend, and you are worth fighting for. You will always be a part of me. I'll always be a part of you. I will always love all of you with all that I have. I will always accept everything you are with open arms. You're my hero, and my lovebug, my heart, and my dumbass. I love you more than life, and that will never end 💙

Jakob, I love you so much, son'o mine... I'm sending you a mom hug... and I hope you can feel it, feel me wrapping you in warmth and love and care and hope and maybe a little bit of magic, and holding you extra tight... I won't let go, love, I promise

Please please please don't ever think you are a burden, or unwanted, or alone, or that I'm better off without you in my life (because I'm not), or that things won't get better, or that I would hate you or be mad or love you any less. I love you kiddo, love you more than life, and I'll always want you... as my son, and in my life. My life got so much better with you in it, filled with so much joy and laughter and love, and even with the scary bits and times I worried... I feel so very blessed that you are my son. And I promise you, things will get better. Maybe not all at once, or quickly, but they will... and I will be right be your side through it all. So please hold on, know that there is hope, and that you are loved so fucking much.
