God Has Answered My Prayers

A year ago today, I met you.

With cries, pushes and a lifetime of prayers, you finally made it into my arms.

But oh sweet girl – in those last few moments before I heard your precious cries, I thought it would never happen. I felt like I would never be strong enough to make it through the agony. I was sure I couldn’t find it in me to push even one more time.

I screamed, begged, and then miraculously the pain ended and you began.

And from that moment, you have been the answer I prayed for. You are a living dream.

I wish I could live this past year over and over again, never forgetting one moment of you. You are as delicious and perfect as life can be.

And yet as much as I want to relive your short past, I can’t wait to watch you grow and discover who you are.

My beloved baby girl, I wish you Happy Birthday.

  9. My little girl turned 5 yesterday and she is such a fireball. Sometimes I wish she’d listen more and be crazy less, but I know that’s just her wonderful personality shining through. I know your daughter will bring you lots of joy!! Enjoy the moments they live in your heart forever.

  25. I think I speak for everyone when I say, we’ve all enjoyed watching her first year too. Olivia is one well known little girl.

  27. My daughter’s birthday was yesterday. On how time does fly. She turned 15. It seems like only yesterday that I held her in my arms.
    Happy Birthday to your precious one.
    Blessings
