I'm sorry that when you were one I couldn't raise you above my head to make you laugh and when you were two I couldn't lift you up for at least two hours in the morning after climbling out of bed - my back was so stiff and sore. But thanks to the Cleveland Clinic - your third year will be an amazing one!

The very first thing I will do in the morning will be to scoop you up and give you the biggest bear hug!

I will give you all the piggyback rides in the world - even when it snows!

And when the sun goes down at the end of the day, I will carry you to bed and tuck you in without having to wake you.

I love you, my little boy.

I'll race you to the monkey bars!

Love,

Mommy

XXXOOO

From a mom with spinal problems to a mom with them.

I also have young children and because of an accident I have had 2 major back surgreys and am now a chronic pain patient. I also look forward to one day being able to pick up my 2 year old daughter w/o pain.

so many take motherhood for granted I never will I pray you get your future.
