Lily Dawn,

A little over two years ago, you came into our lives, starting a complete transformation in me.  Without even trying, you have led me into motherhood with a patience and forgiveness that blesses my heart.  As our first child, you opened the doors to a place in my heart that I didn’t even know existed.  Through you, God has molded me and continues to do so.  Thank you for being such a loving daughter!  I am so blessed by the relationship we have, and look forward to watching it mature as we both grow.

Very soon, we will welcome your little brother into our family.  <3  I can’t wait to watch you grow in a completely new facet: as big sister!  You and your brother will be such blessings to each other, and to both Daddy and me.  While life at home will look a little different at first, I want you to know how proud Daddy and I are of you, and how precious you are to us.

I love you so much, my sweet girl!

<3, Mom
