It’s been four years since I birthed you into the world, and my life has never been the same since. You brought me to new highs and new lows, brought out the best and the worst in me, made me simultaneously love and hate myself relative to being your mother. You drive me crazy at times, make me burst with pride at others. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am by no means a perfect mother, but I’m doing my best to at least be a good one. I love you so much, Francine!
