ONE

MaeOne year ago yesterday, I was filled with more fear than hope. We wanted you so badly, baby Mae, and were so afraid.

And then, one year ago today, you were suddenly, safely, miraculously here with us. Our life grew exponentially happier, our hearts fuller, our joy overflowed. You complete our family in a way I had only dreamed of.

And today, you are the reason I am filled with more Hope than fear.

My darling Mae Genevieve, watching you grow and thrive over the past twelve months has been one of the happiest experiences of my life. I have enjoyed every second of being your mother. You are sweet and cuddly, curious, smart, and so happy. Your smile makes my world make sense, your laugh rights all wrongs. Happy First Birthday, my littlest love! I can’t wait for more adventures with you.

Love,

Mommy
