I always knew being a mother would be wonderful, but I never knew just how wonderful. We were so excited the day you were born. We still didn’t know if you were a boy or girl, so the doctor lifted you up for us to see for ourselves. That was the most amazing day of my life, the day I became a mother of the most amazing little girl. We named you Hope as we had hoped and prayed so hard for you and now you were finally here. I remember every single detail of your birth day, the day you made me a mother and filled a place in my heart I never knew was empty.
Each day since has been amazing too, but the days go by far more quickly than I ever anticipated. You are almost two now and aren’t a baby anymore. Your enthusiasm about everything around you reminds me every day to appreciate the simpler things in life. I know I am supposed to be the one to teach you, but you have taught me so much. I have learned the little things I used to worry about don’t really matter anymore and one hug from you can wipe away all the day’s frustrations. I love watching you learn and grow and most importantly watching you laugh. You told Daddy one day not too long ago “Hope Happy”. What wonderful feeling to know your child is healthy and happy; I couldn’t ask for anything more. You are the most amazing gift and I am truly blessed to have you as my daughter. You are loved and cherished by so many, but especially by me. Motherhood is the most fulfilling role in my life and I am so honored God chose me to be your mother!
