all because two people fell in love

Dear Olivia,

The day you arrived, the day I became a Mommy, was the very best day of my life. I knew everything would change for the better, but I had no clue how truly wonderful life would become. You amaze me each and every single day with something new. You love to sing and you love to dance. Even when neither makes sense to anyone but you. You have the most amazing spirit, sweet child. You are funny, and pretty witty for a two-year old! The things you say lately are so grown up and I have to wonder how you got so big, so fast.

Your baby sister, Emma, will be here tomorrow and although I’ve tried to tell you how much I love you, there is no possible way you understand. Explaining the concept of love to a two-year old is not easy. When I ask you how much I love you, you say “more sky” but sweetheart you really have no clue how big that sky is. I promise to always love you more than the sky and I will spend the rest of my life trying to show you.

I am so excited for this next chapter in our lives and I can’t wait to see you with your sister. I know at first, this change will be hard to understand but we’ll get it all worked out. Together. I just want you to know that no one, and I mean no one, in this world can take away the love I have for you. You are an incredible child and I am so lucky to have you as my daughter. Thank you for being mine.

More than the Sky,
Mommy
