Happy 2nd Birthday to My Precious Little Lewie

8.11.2010

Oh, my sweet Little Lewie. You have no idea what a momentous day this is…

Two years ago at 1:08 p.m., you came into this world with open eyes and an open heart. (I was astounded that you didn’t cry when you were born.) After the doctor delivered you, she immediately placed you on my chest. You were calm but inquisitive as you searched for the owner of the voice that had been talking to you for so long. You looked at me with those big expressive eyes of yours while I looked at you through my own salty tears.

“Hi Little Lewie,” I said as I studied your beautiful face and your beautiful little hands. “I’m your mama. It’s so nice to finally meet you.”

Your gaze was gentle and sincere, and your daddy and I were in awe of your presence. You were truly a miracle from God, a precious gift, a living and breathing sign of our love. Tears streamed down our faces as we couldn’t believe you were ours to take home. We were so overwhelmed with emotion—quivers of joy, happiness, excitement, elation, and relief consumed us until we felt like we were surely going to explode.

Oh my little one, you have no idea how much you have changed Mommy's and Daddy’s world forever. Your birthday will always be a special day for us, for it’s the day that God taught us how to love unconditionally with all our heart and all our soul. Today and always, Little Lewie, I celebrate you. You are my perfect little bundle from heaven.
