Dear sweet child of mine,
This is my first official letter to you. As you will learn one day, you are not here on earth with us yet, but mommy and daddy are waiting for you. Daddy's name is Matthew Daniel and I am Sarah Jan. We were married almost 4 years ago in Sacramento, California on December 16, 2005. Your Mamaw and Grampy still live in California, but I have a sneaky suspicion that when you arrive one day they might make their way here to Texas where we live. You have an Uncle Bart (my brother) and an Aunt April (my best friend since I was little) who also live in California who I'm sure you're going to love and they will adore you too. You already have two silly dachshund puppies who will consider themselves your "brother and sister" and their names are Sprocket (boy dog) and Snickers (girl dog). We have made sure that they love kids and they really do, I know they will love you! Your Nanna and Poppy (daddy's parents) live in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Your daddy is originally from Mississippi and that's where we met in December of 2004. You have an Aunt Jill (daddy's sister), Uncle Bo (aunt jill's husband) and three cousins Jada, Dallas and Dakota; they live in Georgia. (you also have a much smaller dog cousin named "Tator", he's a dachshund too) You have a great-grandma who lives in Oregon along with lots and lots of relatives who also live in that state.
As you can see, you have a family that already loves you and are waiting for you to arrive one of these days. Mommy and Daddy pray for you every night before we go to bed that God will send you to us soon, that you will be a healthy baby both inside mommy's tummy and when you come out too. To us it doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl, we will love whoever you are. We just cannot wait to meet you, hold you, kiss your sweet head, cuddle you (I hope you love to cuddle), dress you and just be your mommy and daddy. We've been waiting a long time for you and it hasn't exactly been easy waiting, but I know you will be worth it! I know that God just must be putting a lot into making you. You're going to be quite the lil' angel!
I love you sweetie and Daddy loves you and so does everyone else! Won't you please come to be here with us soon? :)
Love,
Your Mommy
this was beautiful and intimate to read, thank you for sharing and what a wonderful idea! even tho my Cella is already a few days away from 8 years old, i think i will start a journal for her. you are an inspiration, and i know that when God gives you and your husband an angel to grow, you will create an amazing addition to this world.
