My sweet Poppy girl, I can't believe that we're here already. You are a year old today. How is that possible? One year ago I saw your beautiful face for the first time. One year ago I fell in love again in an instant.
We waited a very long time for you, sweet girl. I prayed for you. I prayed so hard for you every single day. And month after month when you weren't there I cried. I cried and prayed for you for a year and a half and then one day you were there and I cried and prayed even harder.
It's funny to me now, how you've always done things on your own time. You came to us a week early, when no one was expecting it. You came so quickly and so suddenly, we could hardly believe our luck. You were so intensely perfect! Your daddy was the first one to hold you and I remember that moment so clearly. You were with us for a matter of seconds but you already fit so well into his arms, into our family that it was amazing to me how we ever lived without you.
My precious girl, you are so amazing. You are so curious and beautiful and smart. Sometimes when you're sleeping I can't help but stare at you and imagine the amazing woman you will become. I pray that you will grow to be confident and kind. That your heart will be pure and your smile continues to be infectious. I pray that you will know success and you fight for your dreams. I pray that you love fiercely and loyally. That your spirit grows exponentially. But most of all, I pray that you know and feel how deeply you are loved. Because you are sweet girl, more than you could ever imagine. I love you my precious baby. Always.
Happy Birthday.
Love, Mama
