Dear Lily,
The past 4 weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions. Very challenging and sometimes overwhelming, but I've never been happier in my life. I love being your mom. I LOVE it. I love kissing your sweet little cheeks over and over again. Staring into your bright blue eyes. Listening to your sweet little whimpers when you fall asleep on my chest. Letting you wrap your tiny hand around my finger. Singing you to sleep in the middle of the night. Watching you smile at me in your sleep. Holding you close when you cry because I accidentally turned off too many lights, and you get scared in the dark.
I love just staring at you and thinking that for now, you are mine. You are my beautiful daughter, and I've been given the opportunity to take care of you. To snuggle with you, to kiss you, to learn from you. I feel so blessed for this day we have together, to be best friends and to do everything together.
We've spent the last 10 months together. And now when I leave you home with daddy to run errands, I miss you very very much. When I walk out to the car, I want to run back to you and hold you in my arms because for so many months you've been an inseparable part of me.
You are such a precious little spirit. So pure, innocent, and sweet. I've quickly forgotten every pain or discomfort I ever felt during pregnancy and labor. I am so grateful that I can stay home with you each day; there is no other job I would rather have. And you are mine. Thank you for letting me be your mother. I love you forever Lily Jane.
Love,
Your mamma
Letter to Lily
