You didn't have an ear infection. That is so good! We've made it 6 1/2 months with no illness. I'm so proud of you. You're so strong.

I want you to know that I love you. I've been reading this girl's blog-she lost her daughter at 16 months. That's only ten months older than you. I couldn't live if something were to happen to you. I don't know how she has the strength to go on. In just under seven months you've changed my life.

I am a better person because of you. I am calmer and more kind. I catch myself being absolutely content to look into your eyes. I've never really felt content. I've never felt like I have a lot to offer. Now I feel as if I have the world at my fingertips and it's all ours for the taking. I look for shapes in clouds, something I haven't doen since childhood.

You've made me so much a better a person. Your sweet, easy smile has softened my hard hard.

I've said over and over I'm lucky to have you. I could say I love you until my breath ran out and it still wouldn't adequately express my depth of feeling.

You make me proud every day. I am so fortunate to have you in my life.

I love you Parker!
Mommy
