Exactly two years ago today I held you in my arms for the very first time. Oh how you looked up at me with those huge brown eyes. You just stared at me and you melted my heart. At that moment you made me a mother. I had no idea what you had in store for us as a family, all I could do was watch you. I watched you sleep, watched you drink a bottle. You could finish a bottle in 4 minutes, no burp brakes, just chugging, and then you were full and happy. It took you 4 whole days to give me a smile. I was pretending to bite your toes, and there it was, your little gift to us, a crooked little smile. How is wished those 5 days would never end, but they did, and I had to hand you back. The hardest thing I ever had to do. Daddy was so strong he didn't cry, but as soon as you were out of sight, I cried harder than I ever have before. All your Daddy kept saying was, "She'll be home soon".
