I can't help it...

Tonight I sit and dream of you, my baby boy... I can't help it...

I pray that not too long from now you will be cuddled in my arms, healthy and beautiful, and that I will stare endlessly at you in amazement of my healthy and beautiful baby boy.

I dream of meeting you.

I dream of you healthy.

I dream of holding you.

I dream of a life with you.

At one point I told myself I couldn't dream these dreams... They were too big... too much to ask... feeling unrealistic... feeling undeserving... feeling such joy and perfection might not come my way...

But I can't help it...

I dream of my dreams coming true.

I dream of you.

And somewhere along the way I realized I was afraid to love you with all my heart ,and I did everything I could to try to push that love aside... Out of a fear of loving you and losing you or loving you and hurting because you hurt... As if I could ignore a love that was already created and growing, thinking it would make the pain any less if something were to happen to you...

But I can't help it. I love you. I've always loved you...

Dreaming and loving are  risks for me, and maybe for others too, but even though I'm still afraid, I can't help it anymore......

And so tonight I sit and dream of you...

I can only pray and hope that God allows me the dreams and love I have for you to be fulfilled...
