On this day, I gave birth to my first child, Cameron W.C. Jackson. I learned on this day what being a mother means. It means putting your desires and wants on the backburner. I learned that it was no longer about what was best for myself, but what was best for my child. My life was no longer my own. I learned that my biggest, most rewarding and significant job was taking care of, loving, nurturing, cherishing, and guiding this miracle of life my husband and I were blessed enough to have in our lives. I learned that being a mom was a job that I did not know I wanted so wholeheartedly and completely until you were put into my arms and I looked into your eyes.
Cameron, I have learned so much from being your mom and have loved every minute of the journey. You have brought such undeniable joy and happiness into my life. It has been a pure blessing and gift to have you as my wonderful and utterly perfect son. I have truly enjoyed watching you grow into the caring, smart, hardworking, and utterly funny young man that you are. I am so proud to be your mom, so on this day my son, I say to you I love you and Happy Birthday! xoxoxo - mom
