Because “they” will come for you and try to tell you not to tread further down your path. Ignore them. Don’t stop, for anyone.

You should know...

You are the best thing that has ever happened to me

You are beyond any dream child that I could have conjured in my sleep

You are my love, living and breathing outside of my body

Some days all you’ll wish for is that you hold it together until the end of the work/school/life day. You will make it, time and time again.

Always believe. Believe in God. Believe in yourself. Never ever ever ever stop.

Right now, can you make an unconditional relationship with yourself? Just at the height you are, the weight you are, with the intelligence that you have, and your current burden of pain? Can you enter into an unconditional relationship with that?

I have modeled my life after these words. It is my hope that you will hold them close to your heart and let the sentiment behind these words guide your path as well.

“No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

If I don’t say these things enough, I think each and every one of them every day. I love you so much!

Happy 1st birthday!

I thought long and hard about the words that I should string together to commemorate your first year. No words suffice to tell you about the whirlwind journey that this year has been. I went from nine months of anticipation, loving you even though I did not know you, to knowing you fully and completely. Before your birth, I tried guessing your personality by your incessant activity in the womb. I pieced together my facial features with your father’s in hopes of glimpsing a picture of the baby inside.

Then you were born, my lovely and perfect one, with all of the right fingers and toes, with my nose set against the rest of your father’s features, with my smile. In those first few months, you broke me. You made me think that I had to die so that you could survive. Our days were filled painful breastfeeding hour after hour, your tears as soon as my sleep would come, and the fear that accompanies caring for another life that you love more than your own. I felt as though you took so much from me those first few weeks.

Then you smiled at me, really smiled at me for the first time, and all that I felt was taken was returned to me tenfold. Each day you have given me more joy than I ever experienced in the years before you arrived.

You, little girl, are incredible. You are observant and analytical. Though cautious, you are brave and determination is your modus operandi. You don’t whine, but work and ultimately fight for the things that you want. Food is your addiction. There isn’t a bite that I could place in front of you that doesn’t leave you asking for more. Your laugh is unlike any that I have ever heard, and makes any passersby stop and share in your joy. You are silly and soft and I pray that you never grow hard.

For most journeys in my life, I have always kept my eye on the prize, looked ahead at the next step. With you, all of that has changed, because you are my prize. I don’t care about when you will walk, talk, feed yourself, etc. I am enjoying this moment, right now, because already time has slipped away far too quickly.

Happy birthday to the joy of my life! May God bless you, may He keep you, and protect you.

I am so lucky to have you Roseily. Each and every day I thank God for you, the best part of my world! I can’t help but look into the future at times and imagine when you will be watching your own babies grow...”I want to stand there and watch the two of you softly breathing.”

[lessonsforher]

“There is perhaps only one thing to say to this infant, who is all future, overlapping briefly with me, whose life, barring the improbable, is all but past.

That message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing..”
