On the day you were born

Six years ago my middle child was born. My second daughter

came into the world gently and wonderfully. My easiest

labor and surprising us all with her crown of red fluff.

She was so tiny and beautiful. For many months before

I became pregnant with her, we tried and tried

to have another child. We suffered a miscarriage and felt

another baby might never be. I stopped trying and while on a

trip out east discovered that God had sent me another gift. I was

reluctant to tell anyone but after a few weeks became overjoyed

at the thought of another baby to love and hold. My little

"M" was such a beautiful addition to our family. She was the baby

that I had prayed for. The playmate for her sister. It is so hard to

believe that she has grown so quickly and I cherish this little girl

deeply. She has been my greatest challenge but brings me such

joy. I love you baby girl to the moon and back!!
