I've read about some recent events lately that deeply saddened me and opened my eyes dramatically. So because of emotions I am feeling, I would like to post to my little Lily.
Dear Lilian,
The first time I wrote you a letter you were still in my belly, comfy and squished. Now look at you! You are growing so fast, and honestly, sometimes, it brings tears to my eyes. Not because I'm sad (well a little) but rather because you astonish me. The way your face beams when you smile, the way you are happy for the smallest, simplest things. You amaze me with you humble intelligence and your restless curiosity. Lily you are my greatest love. I didn't pay much attention to people when they stated "You will know what love is when your baby is born." But now that you are with me, I realize the reason love exsists. I realize how intense love can actually be, and it's mind blowing.
I adore the way you eyes smile when you look at me, it warms my heart everytime. I love the way you reach for me and no one else (except daddy) when you want to be cuddled. I love your huge sense of humor, and how you love to share it. I am honored and humbled to be your mother, I couldn't have asked for anything more rewarding.
Lilian Zahara, you......you are my everything, thank you for making my life meaningful and full of early morning giggles in bed, fun bath time splashes, and sweet nightime kisses. Thank you for just being my baby. I love you more than you know and I always will.
Love,
Your mother
What a beautiful letter! She is so adorable!
