Dear Emma,
Now you are one... Looking back to a year ago, I can't believe how far we've come. I hope someday (when you're an adult) you'll read my letters and understand just what kind of impact you had on me. I know that all mothers love their children, but I feel like you and I have an even more special connection than most. You came into this world at a time when I was more brokenhearted than I'd ever been in my life. I'd experienced the worst kinds of pain and sadness, and had shut myself off from my own heart. Once I saw your face, I felt my heart start to heal. Little by little, your little smiles, giggles, and even cries started putting the pieces back together.
Now you are one...and the pieces are almost all back in place.
Now you are one...and I couldn't love you any more, but I know I will.
Now you are one...and I can't believe the little person you are becoming.
Now you are one...and I feel like I am back to being "one" too.
So thank you. Thank you for coming into my life when you did. Thank you for healing me and letting me grow you into such an amazing little person. At a year old, I can already see that you will be a loving person who is not afraid to share or show her feelings. You will always be the most important person in my life, and I will never leave you to wonder how much I love you. Happy birthday, little baby. Mama loves you so much.
Love,
Mommy
