To My New Mommy:
Thank you for waking up and feeding me every two hours. I know how tired you are but I just can't take care of myself yet.
Thank you for holding me when I cry. I'm just testing my voice and my lungs and I just want to make sure you are there.
Thank you for giving me a bath. I know it's difficult to hold my neck when I'm all wet and I'm crying. It will be easier soon.
Thank you for telling me how beautiful and smart I am. This will sink in one say so keep saying it.
Thank you for being there. I will miss you when you go back to work tomorrow but I know that daddy is taking care of me. I know you are happy doing adult things too.
Mostly, Thank you for loving me. All I need as a baby is to eat, sleep, and a clean diaper to continue living. But, Love will help me develop into the best possible person I can be.
Enjoy this time with me because I won't be this little forever! Happy First Mother's Day

Dear Aelyn:
I have watched your Mommy and Daddy for years, wanted a precious little one to love. They went through so many disappointments and heartaches. And then a miracle happened: that miracle was you, Aelyn.
One day you were born and your birth mama did the most unselfish thing in the world. Your birth mama wanted you to be in this loving family. Your Mommy and Daddy were so thrilled and scared. They couldn't wait to hold you and get to know you.
At the same time, they went through all the questions that new parents go through. But they knew the number one thing they needed to do was just to love you.
The day I heard you were coming, I cried because I knew that you, Aelyn were the one that your Mommy and Daddy were waiting for all these years. It just took a long time, because you weren't born yet.
Your Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you, Aelyn. You truly are their smart and beautiful little daughter.
May you always be sweet, smart, and beautiful. May the path of your life always be filled with love.
One of these days I am going to get to hold you again. I can't wait.
Love from Aunt Mary (King)
