Today I miss you. Not that I don't miss you every day but today I am missing you even more than usual. As I sit here taking a small break to eat my lunch I am looking at your picture on my desk top and I cannot help but smile. My heart breaks just a little bit when I think of you craning your neck to look at me this morning while Daddy held you as I scarfed down my Cheerios. You thought it was hilareous. I should have stopped eating just to hold you and squeeze you. I cannot get that image out of my head today. You are probably having fun with daddy doing those every day things we used to do those short 12 weeks after you were born. I hope you know that I think of you every second of every moment I am not with you. I love you to death and that is why I am here on a Monday responding to e-mails from helicoptor parents (which I SWEAR I will never be!). The other night you wanted daddy to put you to sleep and that's ok but it made me wonder, it made me hope, that you will still want to snuggle with me some days. That you will still just want your mommy from time to time. I know you will. I love that you wake-up happy everyday. Your smile was so big this morning when you opened your eyes and stretched your little arms above your head. It made me want to stay home and forget work. Forget everything else in my life and just stay home with you. Your daddy is doing such an awesome job being your daddy and I thank my lucky starts he's ours. It makes it easier to walk out that door Monday through Friday. I am thankful that he works so hard to make sure we have everything we need and that his schedule works out so that he can be with you everyday. You are one lucky girl Lilly Grace.
Today, just like everyday, I will race home excited to see you and that smile of yours as I walk in the door.
I love you Lilly Grace!
Love,
Your Mommy
