Dear Lior,
I am writing this in the hopes that one day you're going to know how much we sacrifice for you.
And it is not for the reason what many others might think.
But because I believe that if you knew.
If you really really knew.
You'd know that you are worth everything.
Absolutely everything.
The late nights.
The movie dates we have to suspend because we need to save money for milk.
For checkups. For diapers. For medicine. For vaccines. For toys.
All the extra sleep we could have had.
The extra time we could have spent on school.
On work. On travel. On family.
And everything else.
But Lior.
None of that would even dare matter.
Nothing.
If without you.
Because you make everything.
The whole world twice its worth.
If not thrice.
And with this, I hope you know that there is nothing we would ever do for you.
I would willingly, in a heartbeat, give up my arm for you.
My legs. My insides. My whole damn body.
For you.
So please know.
Always know. Always know. Always know.
That you are worth the world.
You are worth the sleepless nights
The missed dates.
The change in life.
And you can conquer this world.
The entire universe.
With this, please know
Nothing can ever be bigger than you
No dreams unattainable
No dreams unattainable
No dreams unattainable because
We're always going to be a duo
You and me
Me and you
Lior + Mama
Mama + Lior
+ Papa
So whatever it is you want,
Become a doctor
A lawyer
A scientist
An artist
A priest
A soldier
A fireman
A cop
A businessman
The president
As long as it's going to make you happy,
You can always look at me right past your shoulder
With a grin
With a proud face
With a camera
Cheering you on
Leading you on
Because, that is what I am made to be.
I am made to be your mother.
And I will be there for you
Through whatever
For whatever
I love you, Lior.
Forever and always.
And even beyond then.
