1095 Days
Dear Vista,
I can’t believe it’s been three years already.
You’ve been through more in your three little years than some people go through in a lifetime. And yet everyone always comments about how you still manage to smile through it all.
It’s such a special talent you have, that smile. We can be anywhere, and you’ll find the grumpiest person and flash that special smile at them, and they can’t help but smile back at you. You make the world a happier place.
I can’t even begin to tell you how proud I am of you. It makes me glow inside to hear your doctors call you their ‘little anomaly’ as you do everything they say you shouldn’t be able to do. Like walk. And talk. And never mind the fact that you already know your alphabet, numbers, and colors, and are trying to get us to teach you how to spell. You soak up all the knowledge we give you and more.
I know this hasn’t been an easy road for you, but you’ve walked it with such grace for one so little.
I also know the road ahead is going to be filled with even greater challenges. But remember, your daddy and I will always be there to walk it with you, and to carry you when you get too tired.
You looked at me yesterday morning and asked “Can I be your baby?” And I told you that you would always be my baby. My very special little baby, no matter how old you get.
I love you so much.
Happy 3rd Birthday, my little princess.
