To my youngest daughter, Addison,
I love you, I love you with all my heart. There is nothing I wouldn't do for you or your sister. I waited a long time for you, but God wasn't ready for you to enter into my life just yet. He knew what he was doing and he made me learn how to be patient.
Your sister and you are 10 years apart and some people may say that it's a huge age difference and maybe it is, but in the 11 months that you have graced us with your presence I see the love you and your sister have for each other. I see the smile on your face and in your eyes when your sister comes near you and I see that same look in her face, also. Your sister was never meant to be an only child and I am so happy that I was able to give you to her.
It was a bumpy road when you were first born (you were born a month early, you suffered from juandice and you had reflux issues that when it hit you were inconsolable until it passed and knowing that there was nothing I could do during that time broke my heart each time) but I knew that we would get through that stage and that it was only a stage and because God taught me how to be patient I was patient during that time and look at you now. 2 1/2 weeks before you turn a year old and I can't imagine living my life without you.
You're a momma's girl and you demand my time, but I know that you are my last child and once these stages pass I will never experience them again and so I'm trying to enjoy each one. I want to make memories for you, I want you to have a happy childhood. I want so much for you and I hope that I can give you everything that you need but not without learning that this world we live in isn't free and that we must work hard for it.
I sit and wonder what will you look like when you're a teenager, what college will you go to, what kind of music will you listen to, what hobbies will you enjoy doing? Will you be my ballet kind of girl or are you going to be the sports fanatic like your sister? Whatever it is, Addison, I hope that I'm there to watch it all happen and I can promise you it will be with a smile on my face.
You've come so far in your 11 months I can't wait to see what the rest has to hold.
I love you today, tomorrow and always.
Mom
