Thank you to everyone who commented and made suggestions for this LO. I decided to go simple as to not take away from the picture and just double matted the pic with cream and navy cardstock. I think I am going to frame this instead of putting it in a book, so I felt it didn't need a title. Here is some of the journaling that goes with it:
I love you, my baby, my angel, more than life itself. I will always be there for you and care for you. There is nothing you could ever do to change the way I feel about you. Even when you are testy and get into one of your moods, I still adore you. I have a soft spot in my heart for you that will never go away. You have done so much for me and you can not even understand that you have helped me in ways I never imagined. You have been a constant comfort to me and I love you for that. When I have nightmares, or a panic attack, you are right there next to me—licking my hand and rubbing your face against my arm, letting me know you are there and that you somehow understand that I need you to be there at that moment. Your soft fur and warm kisses provide me a comfort that I never could find in medications that were supposed to calm me when I was having a nightmare or a panic attack. You do what drugs could never do for me. You are better for my mood than any mood altering substance. Who knows what kind of drugs or drinking alcohol I might have done if I did not have you to comfort me. I live a very stressed out life because of my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but you make my life a little bit easier every day. I have such a high level of anxiety, but you calm me down. I feel the need to do harmful things to myself because I feel so worthless, but you remind me that I have worth—as a mother to you. Just the two of us, I know we can make it if we try because we love each other unconditionally. We love each other in a way that no one can explain or understand. Without you, I am incomplete. I need you so much, my love, my baby boy, that I can not imagine my life without you. One of the hardest things I have yet to accept is that one day you will not be with me. I can not picture that day because I can not picture my life without you in it. But deep in my heart I know that your time here on earth is limited and in a way I feel like mine is limited by yours because I can not live without you. I truly need you more than air. I feel like I would die without you, sweetheart. Oh, my lovely angel, what will I do when you are gone? I can not entertain thoughts like that now, because for right now I must enjoy every moment that we have together. I know this sounds intense, but my love for you is intense. How could it not be? You changed my life in so many ways. You made me realize that I could live again, that I did not have to be ruled by my past and that I had a future with you in it.
Just the Two of Us by Will Smith
From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms
I knew I’d meet death before I’d let you meet harm
Although questions arose in my mind would I be man enough
Against wrong choose right and be standin up
From the hospital that first night
Took a hour just ta get the carseat in right
People drivin all fast got me kinda upset
Got you home safe placed you in your basonette
That night I don’t think one wink I slept
As I slipped out my bed to your crib I crept
Touched your head gently felt my heart melt
Cause I know I loved you more than life itself
Then to my knees and I begged the lord please
Let me be a good daddy all he needs
Love knowledge discipline too
I pledge my life to you
Chorus
Just the two of us we can make it if we try
Just the two of us just the two of us
Just the two of us building castles in the sky
Just the two of us you and i
Verse 2
Five years old bringin comedy
Every time I look at you I think man a little me
Just like me
Wait an see gonna be tall
Makes me laugh cause you got your dads ears an all
Sometimes I wonder what you gonna be
A general a doctor maybe a mc
Haha I wanna kiss you all the time
But I will test that butt when you cut outta line trudat
Uh uh uh why you do dat
I try to be a tough dad but you be makin me laugh
Crazy joy when I see the eyes of my baby boy
I pledge to you I will always do
Everything I can
Show you how to be a man
Dignity integrity honor an
An I don’t mind if you lose long as you came with it
An you can cry aint no shame it it
It didn’t work out with me an your mom
But yo push come to shove
You was conceived in love
So if the world attacks and you slide off track
Remember one fact I got your back
Chorus
Verse 3
It’s a full time job to be a good dad
You got so much more stuff than I had
I gotta study just to keep with the changin times
101 dalmations on your cd rom
See me I’m
Tryin to pretend I know
On my pc where that cd go
But yo aint nuthin promised one day Ill be gone
Feel the strife but trust life does go wrong
But just in case
It’s my place
To impart
One day some girls gonna break your heart
And ooh aint no pain like from the opposite sex
Gonna hurt bad but don’t take it out on the next son
Throughout life people will make you mad
Disrespect you and treat you bad
Let God deal with the things they do
Cause hate in your heart will consume you too
Always tell the truth say your prayers
Hold doors pull out chairs easy on the swears
You’re living proof that dreams do come true
I love you and I’m here for you
Chorus to fade
Thanks for spreading positivity!
