Oh my goodness, Autumn Raine. My heart is a bit somber, yet filled with gratitude right now. Tomorrow you will be six months old, and our first year together will have reached its halfway point.
I heard a story once about a girl who told her dad when she got her license, that it was the happiest day of her life. He told her he was glad she was happy but told her it wasn't the happiest day yet. Then on her Prom day, the same thing. 'I'm glad you are happy, but this isn't the happiest day yet.' Again, her wedding day came, and she said, 'I KNOW this has to be the happiest day.' He told her it was close, but this wasn't it yet. Finally, the day she had her own baby in her arms she said, 'Dad, THIS is the happiest day of my life.' He just looked at her and said, 'Yeah. It is.'
This sums it up for me. You being here with me is the ultimate representation of all my dreams so far being a reality. I am married to the greatest man I could ever have found for myself, and we have the most beautiful angelic baby. You both are far above and beyond my wildest dreams.
All I can say is thanks for coming to me. Every day, every smile, every new skill, everything you do completes our lives. The only thing I look forward to in the future is seeing you feel this incredible love and ultimate joy of holding your own sweet baby.
I love you so much sweetheart.
