a letter to my son.

Dear Tracker,

We are days away from meeting. Looking at each other for the very first time. Feeling each other. and starting our journey through life together. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for your life. When I think about what our first moments will be I am filled with the purest of joy. You are coming to us after the hardest time in our life. You are coming into our home already giving us this incredible light that we lost. The past 9 months have been surreal knowing we will get the chance to love again. To love that immensely. To love that beautifully. To love with all of our hearts. Your life is the greatest gift we could ever receive. To share your journey. To show you life the best way we know how. To guide you through some hard times and some amazing times.

Tracker I promise you love. Endless amounts of love everyday of your life.
I promise to never take your life for granted. I promise to thank God everyday for you. I promise to hold you. I promise to live our life as if everyday is our last.
I am not perfect and will make a million mistakes along the road but giving up or doing a 'good' job is not enough. Not for you.
I promise to teach you, comfort you, guide you, listen to you, understand you and love you with every ounce of me.
I promise to always be here.
I promise to say I am sorry when I am wrong.
I promise to embarrass you.
I promise to make you laugh.
I promise to accept you for whoever you become.
I promise to put my life on the line to save you.

Tracker, you hold my heart in your hands. You carry my happiness, my sadness, my fears, my dreams, my hopes, my wishes, my life. You have given me a reason.
Thank you for your life. Thank you for choosing your Dad and I as your parents. Your life will never be taken for granted. We see how blessed we are to have you.

Just like with your sister, we will give up everything in life to make sure you have everything. We will stand by you. We will never leave. We will carry you when you just cant do it anymore. We will be your constant.

We have been dreaming of you.
We have been praying for you.
You are about to change our world.
You will be ours.
You are our life.
You are the reason we are still here.
You are why we didn't give up.
We love you to the moon Tracker Kent Webster.

Beautifully written! Love the name. Will be praying for you and your family this weekend as this little guy arrives. Wish you all happiness.

Love said...

Congratulations Kendra, and Ryan! I am so happy for you. I've been following your journey for over 2 years now.

I am BLOWN away that his name is Tracker.

When you first announced his name and your apprehension behind such a unique name, the FIRST name that came to mind was TRUCKER. I cannot believe how CLOSE I was!!

Oh I cannot wait to meet him *via your blog*

I am crying tears of joy for you all! I know how important this was for you. I know how proud Kenzie is of the baby boy she helped hand pick just for you all to raise so she can play with him again someday!

I hope and pray this little boy helps heal your heart just a bit. I know he is not and never would be a replacement for his sister, but I am so happy that you are able to physically manifest all the love you've been holding inside again!

Trinity said...

SO sweet! Love his name.

Lea and her Mustangs said...
