This year's handmade card for Em.
Last year's Valentine's Day was very special. We chose that special occasion to announce the wonderful news that the most precious baby girl we ever laid eyes was to be our daughter. We spent last Valentine's falling deeply, deeply in love with our Emerson. And that's how we've spent the last 12 months. Head over heels in love with our little girl all the way over in Korea.
Dear Emerson,
On this Valentine's Day, I wish you could feel just a teeny, tiny bit of the love mommy and daddy have for you. Even for a moment.
If I could have a minute with you today, I'd take it! I'd hold you tightly the whole time, while taking a good look at your beautiful face - memorizing every detail. I'd stroke your hair, cover you with kisses, and tell you over and over how much I love you. How much I've always loved you, and always will.
And then my time would be up and then I'd have to let you go. Which I couldn't do, of course. I knew that even a year ago.
So even though we aren't physically together today, for a minute I let myself go there - imagining what it'd be like to be with you today. And with tears welling up in my eyes, I wish you a Happy Valentine's Day.
Loving you with all our hearts,
mommy & daddy
