SO, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME, YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WANTED A BABY. WELL NOW THAT WE HAVE TALAN I CAN'T IMAGINE MY LIFE BEFORE OR WITHOUT HIM. I USED TO WALK AROUND WORK PLAYING WITH THE BABIES AND TALKING TO ALL THE KIDS, I THINK THAT'S HOW I MADE IT THROUGH SO MANY OF THOSE SHIFTS. I HAVE BABYSAT NUMEROUS BABIES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. NOW I HAVE MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE TALAN THAT NO ONE CAN COMPARE TO. I SIT HERE SOMEDAYS JUST STARING AT HIM WONDERING IF HE WILL EVER KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM AND THAT I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO MAKE SURE HE WAS ALWAYS SAFE. EVERYONE KEEPS TELLING ME THAT CHILDREN GROW UP SO FAST AND THEY WERE NOT KIDDING. TALAN IS ONLY 8 WEEKS AND HE JUST AMAZES ME EVERYDAY.
THERE WAS A TIME WHERE I WASN'T SO NICE TO MY MOM, I THREW A HAIRDRYER AT HER, YELLED AT HER, SAID HATEFUL THINGS TO HER. I COULDN'T HAVE IMAGINED THEN HOW I MUST HAVE MADE HER FEEL, BUT I HOPE I HAVE MADE UP FOR THOSE AWFUL THINGS. I NOW THINK MY MOM MUST HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GIFT FROM GOD. TO STAY AT HOME AND RAISE 4 GIRLS WHILE YOUR HUSBAND TRAVELS TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY, I JUST DON'T KNOW. MY SON IS THE GREATEST GIFT RANDY COULD'VE GIVEN ME. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THROUGH THOSE YUCKY YEARS WHERE HE PROBABLY WON'T LIKE ME HOLDING HIM OR KISSING HIM THAT I CAN REMEMBER MY FIRST MOTHER'S DAY. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW SPECIAL I FEEL WHEN I HOLD HIM, KISS HIM, OR WHEN HE FALLS ASLEEP IN BETWEEN US AND LOOKS SO PEACEFUL. TODAY WAS A GREAT DAY! WE SAW RANDY'S MOM AND GRANDMOTHER AND THEN GOT TO SEE MY MOM. I HOPE THEIR DAY ALTHOUGH THEY'VE HAD A COUPLE MORE THAN ME WAS AS GREAT AS MINE.

Dear Talan,
You may not know it yet, but you are one very lucky little boy. I look at your mom when she looks at you and holds you and she has such love and pride for you. I know that feeling, as that is what I feel for her and all of your aunts. I don't know if any of them remember, but I know I have said to them, "wait till you have children of your own -- then you will know what I am feeling." I think your mom is finally starting to understand all of that.
Love, Grandma Sharghi
Dear Jennifer,
I consider one of my biggest accomplishments to be raising four beautiful and caring young women. I thank God that I was fortunate to be able to stay home and raise you all. I am very proud of you, and the person you have become. I am so happy that you were able to celebrate your first Mother's Day with us yesterday.
Love, Mom
