Dear Lucy II

To My Beautiful Daughter,

I love you so much. Now that you are here I could not imagine life without you. You are the highlight of  my day, afternoon, evening, night (until bed time when you cry)… I get tears in my eye when I think about how God has placed you specifically in our lives, what a marvelous gift! I enjoy watching you grow everyday, learning new things, experiencing each new day… I am sad that you are growing up because in no time at all you will be a mean teenager, off to college and married away yet I can’t wait to experience all of those things with you (Lord willing).

When I was starring at you on the changing table right now I started feeling a bit sentimental, which is why I had to come and write you this letter. Not that you will actually ever read it but since you don’t really grasp conversation yet, I just wanted you to know how much I love you, more than I could have ever thought. I almost love you more than ice cream… kidding. You bring so much joy to my life and you have only been here for 6 weeks. True, you have been around for a few months but no offense, they weren’t the most enjoyable… however, they were all worth it.

Having you has made me truly realize the Love that God has for all of His people, including us. He sent His only son to die for us so that we might live. I have to be honest, I  love you way too much to give you up for people who I don’t even know. I know God loved Jesus much more (sorry, it is the truth, His love is perfect and well, your Mother is not), yet he still sent him to the corss…just something I have been thinking about.

 You are so cute, funny, you smell good, you sleep well, you dress well… I can’t wait to hear you sing because I know you are going have a good voice judging by the tone of your crying…

Love you with all of my heart,

Your Mom.
