Just wanted to drop by with a message of hopeful anticipation in the arrival of sweet Leah Anne tomorrow. You are and always have been so worthy of good things, and tomorrow you meet face to face one of those "good things" that life brings us; a precious little being that God created before time and had already planned out that she would belong to you in this life-time. When God thought up Leah, He thought of you and He knew she'd start out as your baby, depending on you for all needs and all knowledge, and He also knew that in time she'd end up as your best friend. Here's to tomorrow, opening the door to a beautiful journey in the life of a little girl. I wish I was there to see you light up with the joy that can't be contained as she's cradled in your arms and T is next to you both.... I can't quit tearing up as I flash back to your childhood backyard and us flipping on the bars, and how you took such good care of those cabbage patch kids, and you were always so organized, I see the go-cart rides around my back yard, I see me staring at your beauty as those long legs twisted and twirled during majorette practice, I see you at the kitchen bar with school books never slacking, I picture the note you wrote me with uplifting scripture after my first broken heart, I hear you explain the FOIL method to my thick head time and time again until I got it, not to mention the year you taught me college algebra after my class as my pregnant self munched on Doritos and bean-dip. You have always always been in my special moments and I'm so glad that one of your most special moments this side of heaven is tomorrow, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I am sad too, that I am not there to be a part of it.
I love you and please please kiss 'Bean' for me tomorrow. She tried to hold out for me, but you just had to go and get induced;) lol, just joking! Praying for you, Aunt-Sister-Friend, tomorrow you meet part of your destiny...
