Our Blessing

Dear Frankie,

Mommy went through almost the entire day today, not realizing its significance - Until this evening when I caught the date on my phone and exclaimed to Daddy, "Oh my gosh, do you  know what today is??" (blank stare from Daddy) "One year ago today, we found out about Frankie!"  Exactly one year ago, we discovered that we were being blessed with a baby, but little did we know just how special of a blessing you would be.  Through those almost 40 weeks of anticipation, nothing prepared me for the moment when I first held you in my arms, felt instant and overwhelming love, and declared to Daddy, "He's perfect".  My love for you is certainly like no other I've felt.  I cherish our time together, from rolling on the floor during playtime to those quiet moments at night when it's just you and I in the rocker.  Each time I pry my tired eyes open when I hear you stir in the  middle of the night, I remind myself to embrace these moments and then it becomes hard for me to put you back down in your crib.  One year ago today, we knew you were our special little blessing, and each and every day you remind us just how special you are. 

Love always,

Mommy
