A Letter to my Daughter

Dear Abriana,

Your dad and I waited a long time to meet you, but we've loved you for years. We waited, sometimes not so patiently, to get to see your face.

When we learned you were officially on your way we couldn't even believe it. We didn't think it was possible.  We were so excited!

When we learned that you would have some hurdles to overcome, we were scared and heartbroken for you. But we quickly learned what an inspiration you would be even before your birth day and that God would use you to help others see the beauty in their own hurdles.
I guess what I really want to say to you is:

I think your beautiful.
I think you're perfect.
I love you just the way you are.
I want you to be happy.
Your expressions are fantastic!
Your timing is humorous!
You're an inspiration.
You're a great snuggler.
I love you!!!!

I love you more than words can say. Sometimes people look at me and say how amazing we are because of you, but I have nothing to do with it. It's all you. You give my life meaning and bring me the greatest joy. Even when I'm exhausted and you're crying, you're my joy.

I've always wanted to be a momma and you gave me that gift.

Thank you for being the amazing tiny human you are! I love you! I love you! I love you!

Forever & Always,
Your momma
