You turn a year old today, time has went by so quickly that I can barely keep up. I love you more than anything in this world, and I know you feel the same about me. You filled a hole in my heart that I never thought could be filled. Your smile, your tiny green eyes, even the way you pout your lips, all of those things can make my day turn around. When I got pregnant with you I couldn’t believe it, I was going to be a mommy. I was going to have a chance to help mold someone into something wonderful.
My main wish for you isn’t for you to be rich, or a mother, or to graduate from college, while I want all of those things and more, the main wish for you is happiness in whatever you do. I don’t care if you decide to be a cashier all your life, if you are happy in life, that is all I will ask. It wasn’t until you that I became happy in live. I kept thinking that I needed more, more money, more friends, more success, all I needed was happiness, those other things are just static. You brought me happiness.
Thank you my little baby Gracie, thank you for helping me to discover just how strong I can be. Thank you for showing me that no matter what we see on the news, there is hope for the future because you are in it. Thank you so much for your innocence and your unconditional love and trust. I will love you forever, nothing you ever do will change that fact. ~Mommy

With several kids of my own, I can totally relate. I’d do almost anything to keep them happy (while trying my best not to completely spoil them!).

Oh wow, that is amazing! This made me cry tears of joy – I feel the same way about my daughter. She is 2 years old and I am so in love. Thank you for putting it so eloquently!
