Letter to My Little One

Two.  Soon you will be two.

In the early morning hours you still call for me and once settled you curl your tiny little body against me and go limp with the comfort.  I feel your tiny fingers curl around my ear and the deep, deep calm take over you.

I would sell my soul to guarantee you a life of comfort and calm.

I can't recall a single day since you were born into this world that you haven't awakended with joy in your heart and light your eyes and I will be forever grateful for that.  How miraculously lucky we have been my angel.  You light up our lives with your spirit and there is fire in your eyes.

You are eager in your independence.  You want to dress yourself, ride your bike yourself, do it all yourself.  You walk with a little swagger and smirk that we all adore so very, very much because it is the very essence of you my little wanderer.

We see you.  We cherish you.
