On the night you were born,
The moon smiled with such wonder,
That the stars peeked in to see you.
And the night wind whispered
"life will never be the same."
Because there had never been anyone like you, ever, in the world.
For never before in a story or rhyme
(Not even in a once upon a time)
Has the world ever known a you, my friend.
And it never will, not ever again.
Heaven blew every trumpet
And played every horn
On the wonderful, marvelous night you were born. -Nancy Tilman
10 years ago today was such a marvelous night that you came into the world, Lily. You will bring such love and wonder into our family. Come home, sweet girl,and we will celebrate each day! Happy Birthday to our daughter- YOU!
You think I am a day late, but just after midnight happened to be my late bedtime tonight after a busy day! I thought of you all day today! We hope that you know how wonderful you are. I hope you foster family tells you how special you are each day! Happy ten years, Lily. I grieve not having you each day of your life and missing your "firsts", but we will celebrate all of your firsts that you have with us. We might even have to make up some silly firsts! Personally, I'm ready for our first HUG.
Until we meet,
Mama
