Valentine's Day

So another Valentine's Day has come and gone.

I never was a big fan of the holiday myself. For me it was one of those days with so many expectations around it that the only possible outcome was disappointment.

And though there are a lot of people I love in my life, Valentine's Day is really a couple's holiday, so when you are alone there is nothing to look forward to.

So this year I decided to not worry about the fact that I am single (still) and have now declared it Wyatt's holiday.

No longer with February 14th come with feelings of dread, but instead it will be looked forward to with happiness and thanks.

I wrote last year around this time about my special anniversary with Wyatt, the anniversary of the day I found out I was pregnant. A day which happens to fall on February 16th.

It's now been two years since my whole life got turned upside down. And things just keep getting better. Yes, I have a lot to worry about and a lot that I am responsible for. My life is far from perfect. But I love being a mom, it is the best thing I have ever experienced.

Because of Wyatt I can be excited about a day normally reserved for couples to celebrate their love for each other even if I don't have a romantic relationship of my own.

I can celebrate the amazing love I have felt for my son since that very first night.

I can laugh at the thought that peeing on a stick changed my life forever.

I can be thankful to have learned what real true love is, what unconditional love is.

Tomorrow I can spend the day missing being pregnant (who thought I would ever be saying that!) and looking at the beautiful child I brought into the world and know I didn't miss a single thing on Valentine's Day, I have something better.
