Dear Lior,
You literally just got discharged from almost a week stay in the hospital. You got admitted because of your weak, weak lungs and although it is not as serious as before we opted that you get confined so that your pediatrician can take better look at you. It's tough being a parent, Lior. The day we rushed you to the hospital, I had a 10 am interview with J. Walter Thompson. Kym saved the day. I'm so glad I have her otherwise I would have had to reschedule it and I do not think they would have given me another chance.
It's crazy the things we do for love. I will never take it against you all the sacrifices I had to bear just so I can be a good mother because I owe you that much. I think that is what parents constantly forget. They think that we have to grateful that they're being responsible and that we owe it to them that they send us to school but children never really had a choice on who they wanted as their parents. So I do not think that at the end of the day you can tell your children you're tired because you had to make a living just so you could put something on the table. Children should never hear stuff like that. Not in this lifetime, not in the next. And I hope you will never hear it from me neither from Oj because we try.
Sometimes I get a little sad I am not be able to function well. I'm out of it, I'm low on patience, I'm lethargic but know that your smiles break everything that is being turned into cold stone anger in my heart. You make me melt with your laughter and your sweet kisses. I am so happy you're here. I am so happy for you always save me. I'm so happy that you're the only person that can keep me together.
I love you so much, Lior. You're my greatest achievement. I honestly hope that had you given the chance to choose your mother, you'd still pick me.. Because ultimately, that is all I would ever want to hear.
Anyway, I think I should tell you that I got in at JWT and I am starting my internship next week. Baby steps. Baby steps. Baby steps. I've never been quite as happy when I learnt I got in. We're a step closer to getting that BMW for when you get to college. Remember, everything I do is for you, you and only you.
Love always,
Mama
