Well Noah it
was six years ago today that you shot out of my body in less than four hours, a
speed you have kept up! I remember those first few days when we lay in bed at
Plot Street Cottage. I lay there stunned as my heart flooded with a new kind of
love. I remember you tiny and squashed, and watching your body slowly unfurl
was as wonderful then as it is watching your childhood unfold today.
As I write
this I look out at the Atlantic Ocean and it is as infinite and vast as the
love I have for you. I see you Noah, majestic, gentle, funny, enthusiastic and
kind. I remember when I left I said to you that you would find me in the water,
that we could connect across the ocean into the water you drink and wash in. I
hope you have also felt me hold you at night and laugh with you in the day. I
was on watch one evening and felt your head resting in my lap. Lovely.
I know you
have had some hard times without me but I also know that you have been well
loved and cared for. The ocean and the women on board are teaching me to hold
you more fully and how to rise to the challenge of adventure. The science is
showing me how we can take care of the world for your future.
All I have
left to say is Happy Birthday!
Go for it!
Trust
yourself!
I love you!
Love mummy x
