To my sweet daughter, Erin

~~21 months ago today I held you in my arms for the first time. I wish that I had remembered to capture those first moments in a bottle.
I wish I had saved the smell of your sweet, milky breath, the touch of your soft, powdered skin. How small you were in my arms as I held you like I had known you forever, though I had waited forever to meet you.






I look forward to the years to come. Birthdays, holidays, and many "firsts" I will share with you, my first daughter. We will share laughs and tears, joys and pain. I will care for you all the days of my life, here and beyond, like I cared for you those first days of your life.~~




Sweet dreams my darling Erin. Sleep well. Good night.
Love
Mommy
