The Day You were born

by | Nov 24, 2012 | Children, random life, Video | 17 comments

This is the day your were born.

Your beautiful face, your sweet cry, was music to our hearts.

H.o.P.E. was born that day.

Hope that, no matter what they said, we would see more days with you than they thought.

Hope that, no matter the outcome, we would stand firm that you were here for a purpose.

Purpose has been pouring out of you from the start and woven it’s way through the fabric of our souls, transforming our lives.

Looking back it is hard to imagine we would be where we are now.

Holding you and seeing you take each new baby step forward.

The joy that floods our hearts on this day has no words, simply a feeling.

A feeling of love with no boundaries, rich joy and a heart that is open wide to possibilities

These are the gifts you give us just being you.

No words, just smiles, attempts at reaching and holding.

The journey has been long and hard, but the joy you bring outweighs every moment that was tough.

On this 11th birthday and 11th full year of life, we give thanks for an overflow of life that we never dreamed we could have been blessed with.

Happy Birthday to you, sweet girl.
