Our Final Day as Three

My Dearest Lily,
This is a little note to you to read when you get older. Today is the last day that our little family is going to have as a threesome. Today I look at you and can't help but tear up about the last three and a half years. We've all gone through a lot and have had many amazing and wonderful times. I hope that you always felt loved and cherished. You always will be, sibling or no sibling, but I just hope that those three years for you were filled with snuggles and good memories (if you do remember any of it later). You have been such a catalyst for change and healing since the day you were born. You've represented a lot of things to me actually. You've shown me who I am in so many ways. I didn't really know myself when I first had you. You opened the floodgates in my heart the way that no one else could. Someday I will tell you of all the changes that you instigated. Suffice it to say that I will always always feel honored that God gave you to me, trusted you to me, when I didn't even know myself. You have such amazing insight, perception and understanding of the things around you. You are a truly deep kid. I can't even imagine life without you. Thank you for being who you are and for loving me for who I am. You amaze me each day with your capacity for love and joy. Lilian, nothing in this world could change the way I feel about you. My heart leaps when I look at you. You're growing so tall, so strong and so sensitive. My darling, God has always had big plans for you. It's evident to others when they interact with you that you're different. You're unique. You're fancy. You're insightful. You're charming. You're smart. You're beautiful. You're funny. You're fun to be around. You're deeply loving. You're sensitive. You're musical. You're caring and thoughtful. You're so many things...and I love you, darling, unconditionally.
Love,
Your Momma and biggest fan
