William,
My dear William, my first born, my rock. Today is your twenty-first birthday and I want to celebrate that in public for all to see but at the same time I want to keep you at home as a small boy forever more; the latter of which I know isn't possible. You have grown into a magnificently beauPreviews help tiful and clever man. Everything you do has purpose and meaning. You put everybody else's needs before your own and work so hard to ensure those around you are happy, safe and feel needed.
Twenty-one years ago when I held you in my arms for the first time, after a fairly straightforward labour and birth, I knew there and then I would never love anybody anymore than I loved you. I was right; I love you, Lawrence and Flora-Grace all in equal measures, but never will I love anybody more than the three of you.
I need to thank you as well for the support and acceptance you have shown me when your father left us which was then followed by a messy divorce and my announcement that I loved another woman. None of it ever fazed you; instead all you ever wanted (and want) is for me to be happy. I watch you with your sister, and despite the nineteen year age gap you're so good with her. When you're not around she talks about you incessantly, as if you hold the answer to everything. As for Lawrence, he respects all your thoughts and opinions and looks to you for guidance.
I'm so very proud of you William. You have flourished beyond my wildest dreams. Sometimes I catch something you say or do and I wonder how I got so lucky to have you in my life. I'm certain that whatever twists and turns appear in your journey you will deal with them in a sensible and rational manner. One day, Willie, you will make someone a loving husband, and then after that a wonderful father. I can only wait for those days to see your character develop further.
Never change, William.
Happy 21st my dear boy.
All my love, now and always.
Mum x
