Dear Rhowan,I want you to know just how much you are loved, however there aren't enough words, actions, thoughts or things to show or say just how much that is. You are truly a blessing in our lives as well as our families. You have brought together so many memories for me and your daddy that I can't put into words just how happy you make us.
It was one year ago tonight that I was sitting in the hospital room, going through the motions of being induced and wondering just how long the process would be for me to finally get to meet you. I had a flood of emotions going through my mind awaiting for you to arrive. You were a dream come true, a reality finally coming into our lives that we would be a family and parents.
Once you were born it was instant that I knew God put me on this Earth to be a mommy. There is no other feeling in this world that can describe my love for you. I still remember day by day from the moment we were in the hospital together to coming home. I can never thank you enough for all the joy you have brought into my life and all the lessons you have already taught me as a mommy and person. I am still learning and always will be. I am learning there is no perfection on mommy hood, just love, laughter and life. I cherish every moment we have together to play, read, rock you, snuggle with you (yes, you are still in mommy and daddy's bed), walk with you, teach you words, etc. You have grown up so fast and this year has truly gotten away from me. My eyes are filled with tears of joy as I can not wait for the years to come, yes, even the puberty years of hell that will arise with attitudes and all! LOL.
Thank you Rhowan for being an angel sent from above, mine and daddy's biggest blessing and lesson to life that you only live once, so love and cherish one another and family is always your core, your rock and where it all began. Happy 1st Birthday Princess!!! (Mommy can't wait for your big party this weekend!) :)
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
Ok note to self I should not read those sort of blogs after I have done my makeup and I am getting ready to head out the door to work.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe myself that 1 year has gone by. I still remember sitting at the Dr.'s office with you when they told you they would be inducing you and remember how excited I was to be a part of it. You and TJ have done such an amazing job and Rhowan is seriously so incredibly beautiful inside & out. I look forward to each day watching our kids grow closer. Seeing the light in their eyes when they see their cousins is a feeling that cannot be forgotten! I love you Nee Nee today, tomorrow and FOREVER! Happy Birthday little princess..
