We had looked forward to today for so long. We had planned what we would do, how we would spend it and basically every little detail. Last night Ella got so sick. She was up through the night multiple times throwing up. And then I got sick--luckily not the throwing up part.
Our day today did not go as planned. Half of us were sick...
This life is so full of surprises, and with each surprise, we adjust to the "new" plan. Today was a prime example of that. It was very hard to not be upset that we were down for the count today.
As I laid myself down for a nap too today, I started to cry.
I didn't cry because I was upset that it wasn't going as planned. I cried because I was thrilled that we were here today "celebrating" your 2nd birthday! You are two! You are here! You are ours! My heart literally just bursts with the love that I have for you.
It seems that this December 21st date will always be my favorite day to be with you. Your life started, and my life was forever changed on this night. That is why I will always cry happy tears on this day!
No matter what the plan, what the stage, or what we go through, your birthday will always be the most anticipated day of the year! Your life is the greatest adventure of mine!
I love you always,
Mom
