ETHAN

Good morning, sleepy head.
I've been up for a while,

Standing by your bed as your dreams made you smile,
Wondering where your mind goes when your eyes close,
And wishing I knew the worlds you travel through.

I know soon you’ll be living your own story,
And there will be chapters without me.
But life is a journey, and it is quite a ride
With many roles to be played, many parts to be tried.

The world calls me Alyssa, but I’m Mommy only to you,
And of everything I’ve done, it’s a real dream job come true.
Now I’m thinking about the things you, Ethan, might do,
Where you might end up, what’s in store for you.

So before we rise and shine, listen to me
Tell you what I think you’ll grow up to be…

Good morning, sleepy head.
I've been up for a while,

Standing by your bed as your dreams made you smile,
Wondering where your mind goes when your eyes close,
And wishing I knew the worlds you travel through.

I know soon you’ll be living your own story,
And there will be chapters without me.
But life is a journey, and it is quite a ride
With many roles to be played, many parts to be tried.

The world calls me Alyssa, but I’m Mommy only to you,
And of everything I’ve done, it’s a real dream job come true.
Now I’m thinking about the things you, Ethan, might do,
Where you might end up, what’s in store for you.

So before we rise and shine, listen to me
Tell you what I think you’ll grow up to be…

If, Ethan, you take a giant leap
Into a deep space career,
You’ll have close encounters with the final frontier.
And I’ll be happy to hear any alien gossip you’ll reveal
When the gravity of family pulls you home for a meal.

And since you’ll command your own rocket ship,
You’ll take me for an out-of-this-world trip!
We’ll enjoy stellar views on our space station vacation,
Go planet-hopping and do cosmic shoe-shopping!


And call it sci-fi, but I know you’ll get homesick
And sneak from your crew to get through to HQ.
“Houston,” You’ll say,
“I’m light years away and have wormholes to roam,

But I miss my Mommy, and I’d like to phone home.”

Thanks to our readers all around the world who have shared their experiences with us, we have been able to create quite a few compilations of moms crying when receiving our personalized books.



Emotion is at the core of this book: first, Mommy sees herself with her kid on the cover. Then, she reads the lovely dedication you've written. And even if that didn't get her to tear up, the heartfelt introduction should do the trick. Especially if it's her first Mother's Day.
