My Record Thus Far

...for days gone by that I have NOT cried since our baby girl came into our lives is 1. I know, right? I realized on Friday that I made it through the day without shedding a tear. Up until then I was walking around all puffy-eyed and sniffling. I've just been so overcome with emotions.

So yesterday my sis-in-law came over and brought a big bag of books that my 4-year old niece outgrew. (Thank you Susan!!) There was one that was gift-wrapped with a pretty ribbon around it. SIL said she saw it in the bookstore and thought it was a perfect book for us to read to our little girl when she comes home. It's called On the Night You Were Born, and it starts out:

On the night you were born,

the moon smiled with such wonder

that the stars peeked in to see you

and the night wind whispered,

"Life will never be the same."

This was not just a {tear} moment but {TEARS}. I so want our little girl to know that the day she was born was such a special one. That in that moment, God knew she was going to touch so many lives and hearts. That even though there may come a time when she may wonder about that fateful day, that she will know in her heart of hearts that it became one of the most significant days of our lives.

Always know that. I love you.
