To Anderson on His 2nd Birthday

I woke up this morning thinking about my Anderson on his 2nd birthday. And a flood of emotions overwhelmed me. I began thinking about what a gift God has blessed us with in Anderson . Two years ago, I was in the hospital waiting, waiting, waiting for you to come. I thought the day would NEVER get here and yet how did it come so fast? When I delivered you through c-section, I remember waiting to hear you cry and when you did...it was the happiest moment of my life. I said a thankful prayer right there while the doctor was sewing me up. They took you to NICU since your lungs were "wet" and I remember thinking would I ever get to hold you.
I think I slept maybe 30 minutes the WHOLE night waiting and wondering about you and longing to hold you. The next morning, when I saw you. You were hooked up to a breathing machine and I remember thinking "wow" nothing else, but "wow". I was in AWE. When I held you I knew I would LOVE you forever. Your Dada and I had never felt unconditional love like that.

The past two years have been a whirlwind. And the BEST two years of my life. I look at you sometimes and see so much of your Dada in you and then see so much of myself in you...hard headed youngin'. You are truly my heart and soul. And I have never been the same since you have came in our life.
I LOVE you Anderson!
