Dear sweet Eva,
Today is your due date. Everything in our lives has centered on this date for the last 9 months. We have dreamed of seeing you, anticipated bringing you home for the first time, made plans for our lives together, and prayed for your health. The time seemed to go so fast but at the same time, it was such a long wait.
But here you are; you came to see us a few days early and now we can't imagine life without you. I can't believe that if we let you come on your own timeline, we still might not know you. Yet I feel as if you've always been here. I can't get enough of you. I miss your sweet little personality when you sleep, but I love staring at you as you sleep in our arms. I cried when I went to the store without you yesterday and I was only gone 15 minutes. I love those bright blue eyes that study our faces as we study yours. I have never felt so at peace as I do when you are near me. You have already changed me in so many ways. Nobody could have ever prepared me for the love I feel for you. Daddy and I are so crazy about you.
Your daddy and I dreamt about you for years, and you are so much more than we could ever have imagined.
Love, your amazed and proud mom
What a beautiful post, Graeme. It made me cry. Your words bring me back to those first few weeks with Teddy . I never believed in love at first sight until I met my little bear. Thanks for sharing this. Xxoo
