My Sweet May Baby

Dear Little One,

Today is the second anniversary of your due date. Today we should be celebrating your second birthday. The house should be decorated and a cake baking in the oven. I should be making up favor bags and games for you to play with your little friends. You should be running around the house with too much excitement for you little body to handle in anticipation for your birthday party. I should be thinking back to the day you were born with fond memories.

Instead, we are apart today, and it still breaks my heart. Instead, I am thinking back to the amazing moment when I found out about you and the wonderful week daddy and I had with you. It should have been a lifetime longer, though. I miss you.

Your youngest sister gave me a "Mom" necklace for Christmas this year. It's nice to finally be called what you have called me all along... Mommy.

You will always be my first baby. You were the one that started it all. Know that I will always love you and I think of you often. You will never be forgotten. Today and always, you will be in my heart. I pray that Jesus gives you an extra big hug and kiss from me. I know you are well taken care of in His arms.

I love you. I miss you.
Mommy
