We celebrated a birthday today. An incredibly precious birthday. The birthday of one who feels like our blood, through and through. It has been an absolute riot, and it completely pains me to not be able to share more about it. I would HAPPILY share pictures with those who want to know, but as always, it has to be private and not on the blog :/ Always a disappointment for me.
We ate yummy food. Played well. There was a productive nap. More yummy food. Gifts a couple of different times. The day ended on a sugar rush, but thankfully, it was short lived, and the crash wasn’t bad. Somehow, the baby room is already so quiet. Everyone is wiped, but happy.
And here I am, heavy hearted. I KNOW we have to live in the present. I am so aware that what-ifs do absolutely no good. But the future is so unknown, and I cannot imagine not having this dear one with us for every birthday in their childhood and beyond. I must slow my heart and brain down and just enjoy. I promise, I know this.
But man. If you guys could know this tiny person I know. You would understand completely.
Happy birthday, dear one 💜 I love you so much, I could cry. I love you.
