a letter and a birthday


My sweet baby girl is 1 years old today. My heart is full and my love is abundant. She brings so much joy to my life every day. Happy birthday baby girl.

I have a ritual. I write the kids' letters on their birthday. I tell them about their year, about them and how much I love them. When I'm finished I put it in an envelope, seal it and put it away. I can't wait to give them to them when they are much older. I know that pictures can capture emotions, but nothing can capture my true love for them like my words. I just finished her letter and I'm about to seal it and put it away.

Such a wonderful ritual, Amanda. I think you've inspired me to do that one day when I have children. Piper and Brody will cherish these when they get older and when they have their own children.
