Happy Birthday! I hope you had fun with your cake and presents today. You don't know me, but I was there when you were born one year ago today! Yours is still the one and only birth I've ever witnessed. One year ago I found out why so many people call childbirth "miraculous." Your Mommy only had to push 2 times and you were born into a hospital room full of people...2 nurses, a doctor, your Mommy (of course), your Daddy, your Grandma and me. Mine was the first face you ever saw up close, and you gazed at me placidly as I cooed and cried over your perfect little body, as the nurses cleaned you up and checked you out. Your eyes stayed open, gazing into mine. At the time I tried to soak in every detail so that I'd remember it forever, and I might just do that! You were a fantastically beautiful newborn. We all agreed that you were perfectly gorgeous, and several nurses made a point of telling us: "She is absolutely beautiful. We say that to everyone, but Lucy really is!" I wonder what you look like now, at one year old?
Lucy, you don't know me, but I'll always have a corner of my Mommy heart set aside to loving you.

This is such a sweet letter. I often think of the baby that was almost ours. He too will also hold a small piece of my heart, even though he'll probably never know that we exist.
ReplyDeleteA sweet letter indeed. I think I first came to your blog just after Lucy's birth. I hope she has a good life.
ReplyDeleteThat's very sweet. I remembered you said to ask you if I had any questions about the hard wood floors. I have all the carpet up. Is there anything special that I should do to it now?
ReplyDeleteOh, very sweet. I hope she and her family are doing well.
ReplyDeletePraying she is well.
ReplyDeleteWay to make me cry on the 4th, hon... ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhew, that was powerful and sweet all at the same time. With you, I pray that Lucy is happy and well, and knows that she is loved.
ReplyDeleteThis is very touching. Hard for me to believe it's already been a year since those tumultuous times. I too hope Lucy is blessed with a beautiful life.
