Today, you are turning 2!Today, we will celebrate your life even though you are not yet with us.
Today.
Today, we will miss you more than we have since we first saw your face.
Today, we will sing and celebrate you.
Today, we hope you find joy and delight in your day.
Today.
Today, we will pray again for your safety, your care and your heart.
Today, we will imagine what life will be like when you are finally with us.
Today, we will feel the hurt of being apart but trust that this will end soon.
Today.
Because, today is the first day of the rest of your life.
And we are one day closer to together.
One day closer to holding and kissing you.
One day closer to watching God's plan for your life unfold.
Happy Birthday, Lil' One! We love you!
Happy birthday to your little sweetie! Our twins turn 2 on the 13th, and so I know how bittersweet it is... Happy this is the LAST birthday away from their family, and sad because no child should have 2 birthdays without their Mommy and Daddy.
