  • Dear Aidyn,

    We've had some very sad things happen lately.  MaMa passed away on July 21st.  She was tired and she missed PawPaw.   They'd been married 70 years and she died 2months and 2days after he did.  We're going to miss her so much.  Sunday lunch will never be the same.  For all of your short life, we spent hours at MaMa's house on Sundays.  We still all met there and ate the first Sunday after she died, but it just wasn't the same without her there.  We ate lunch yesterday at GranJan's but we left around 2:30 because I had work.


    That's you and your beautiful MaMa when you were less than a week old.  Even though it's been so sad to miss MaMa, we've had something exciting happen lately too.

    You're going to be A BIG SISTER!

    We found out on the 17th that there's another baby on the way.  He/She should be here in the middle of March!  We're so excited about having another baby.  You were our unplanned, wonderful surprise.  I don't know what I would do without you in my life.  You are my life.  ...and even though this new baby isn't a surprise, it is just as special and wonderful as you are.  You've been so great and so much fun... it's going to be great to do it again!  I think you'll love having a sibling so close in age.  You'll be 17.5 months apart!

    You bled for the first time (not in the dr's office) yesterday.  You were in the front yard playing with a flag from Snoopy's wireless dog fence and fell over on it.  It scraped up your left thigh and poked into your belly.  It looks pretty nasty and you cried and cried... I cleaned it up and put gauze over some neosporin.  It's under the flap of your diaper so it actually stays in place.  I felt so bad... you did too, because you actually let me snuggle you for a good 5 minutes.  Such a rare, wonderful thing.  You have a black eye from falling into the wall a few days ago too.  Walking causes lots of owies, I've noticed.  And you're walking everywhere now.

    I love you, Aidyn.
    You've totally opened my eyes up to my flaws; my impatience, my anger, my selfishness among other things.  But at the same time, you've opened my eyes to how much I'm able to love.  Even if in a moment I lose my temper or am impatient, I look at your innocent face and wish I could take it all back.  I want you to go through your life as untouched and unhurt as you possibly can.  I hope you know that your daddy and I love you more than you'll ever know.  You'll get a glimpse of it when you have a little one of your own...

    I can't believe your daddy and I will be married 2 years tomorrow...

    Sweet dreams, my love.

    See you in the morning.
