one year

A year ago we met a new love, the love for our child. We can tell Juliet we love her everyday, we can show her what love is, but until she has a daughter or son of her own, she will never know how much happiness she brings us.

At this point as I try to think back on our first year with her, I can only imagine and dream of her future. Of her learning to walk by herself, starting her first day of school and venturing out into the world as an adult. I wish I could wrap up all the happiness, success, and love to ensure she feels, knows what that is every day of her life, but I cannot.

I can only hope that when she reaches for her dreams, she feels that she is doing exactly what she is supposed to be doing. I want for her to find that spark in life and to feel valued and heard. I hope she can always see the best in herself as much as we do. And most of all, to know that she is so loved.

It is bittersweet to think of closing this chapter with our sweet baby, but I can think of nothing better than sharing my life with our little girl.

Happy One Year, Juliet! We love you more than you can ever imagine.
