My New Name Is Momma, But I Used to Be Called Jordana.

Dear Bruno,
    You know me as momma, but I used to be called Jordana. I want to introduce her to you because she was the one who journeyed very far and in between, all around and up and down, to make sure that you would be born into the most loving and safe environment.
    I've thought about you since I was just a teen. I plotted and dreamed and tried to imagine when would be the "right" time to have you. That was much more of a challenge than you might think. I'll tell you about it one day when you're older.
    I still wonder what type of career I will have and still be able to spend time with you? I want you to know that career and success are subjective and even cultural - and there were some moments in my life when trying to discover my path was hard and emotionally challenging. I truly believe that experience is life's greatest teacher and even though I know I will always want you by my side I hope you will have the same travel bug as me and your father. You are Italian American, and I will not be your Italian mom. I will not do your laundry for you for the rest of your life - this is Jordana speaking. I will support you no matter who you think you want to be as long as you are honest, hard working and kind to the world that shares your life.  
    You must believe in yourself. You must do this thing called "know yourself." You might have to take risks and make uncomfortable choices in order to get there, even if you are the only man left standing. Don't let anyone convince you against your instincts. This is your world now. You can be a first, and I hope you will.
    Jordana, I know already, was a little different than your momma.  She was more rebellious. She was more selfish. She was more vain. She wanted what she wanted and worked hard to get it. She grew up in NYC and is resilient like a weed. She loves to live in a world full of color and differences and is not afraid to just get up and move across country or the world. She loves culture. She loves people. She loves music and dance. She loves wine and good food. She hates processed fake American crap food and would like to spit on many companies and people, but she has etiquette and decorum. She believes in good manners and respect for her elders. Most importantly she has always led a full and interesting life and explored the many different sides of her character and passions. She looks at you and can't even fathom the life you, your daddy and she will have together . . . for this she is in a certain bliss . . . and ready to be called momma and no longer Jordana.
