------------------------------------ Five things I want Aaron to know about Me
- I used to roller-skate. It was a really big part of my childhood and I even did it competitively. Yes, you can figure skate in roller-skates. On days when public transport was thin on the ground, like Xmas Day, I would skate to your Dad's house. That's the day they are referring to in the wedding speeches. I even had a pair of Bauer Skates which trust me, were really cool. I was brave back then and could even skate from the top of a hill to the bottom, no matter how steep. I would simply crouch into a ball with my arms wrapped round my shins.
- At school I was a dork, one of those straight A-student types, but I was an all-rounder, good at sciences, art, maths, and english.... but I was hopeless at languages, and geography and history, so I just didn't pursue those subjects to GCSE or A-level, although sadly French was compulsory so that was my one "C". I won't be a pushy Mum. Your Daddy and I have always said we'd support you in whatever direction you wish to go.
- I was very very very very scared of giving birth. If it wasn't for that, we may have had you much much much sooner. But you are here now and I couldn't possibly love you any more. You are so precious to me it hurts when I think about it. You are such a bundle of joy and such a happy contented adorable baby. I could eat you!
- Making sure you are safe, healthy and happy is my number one priority. Nothing gets in the way of that. I am like a Lioness. Do anything that jeopardizes Aaron and you have my wrath to contend with.
- I want you to know that I photograph nearly everything you do, because I want to record every special moment. One day, I want you to see what I see. In fact, you already do. You smile from ear to ear when you see a picture of yourself on my laptop. I want you to know that these photos mean you are loved and that every moment is joyful, treasured and reflected upon.
