A Birthday Message

 May 18, 2012

Mackenzie Amelia,

Happy 1st Birthday, Sweet Pea! Your Daddy and I can't believe you have been in our lives for an entire year! It has truly been the most beautiful year of our lives. Watching you blossom into the sweet little girl you are, makes Mommy and Daddy beam with pride and joy. Every step you take, whether it be a milestone of some sort or an actual step, we are in complete awe of you. At times it even seems as though the world comes to a complete stop just so it can smile back. And that's exactly what you are, our world. We couldn't possibly imagine life without you. Often when you are fast asleep or quietly playing with a toy, your Daddy and I will stare at you in absolute amazement with nothing but love pouring from our hearts. Love, it's a small little word with an endless meaning. We were told countless times we were going to experience a love we had never known before. It wasn't until you were born that we understood what others had been saying. It's an indescribable unimaginable feeling. No words can truly describe it nor give it justice. It's a love you would lay your life down for, a love you would do anything to protect, a love that makes you feel more alive then you have ever felt before. With that love, you have single handily changed my perspective on why I was given this beautiful gift of life. It became clear that rainy night in May, that I was brought here to have you, to raise you, to watch you grow, to help you learn, to guide you through this amazing journey we call life. You are my purpose, and I couldn't be more honored to be your Mother.

Happy Birthday my sweet little girl! Daddy and I look forward to celebrating many more beautiful birthdays with you!

Love,

Mommy
