Happy Birthday!

Five years ago, Calleigh arrived at 2:35 am.  When I held her, I knew she was who I had been waiting for.

Dear Calleigh,

I'm writing this on February 26th about the time I went into labor with you five years ago.  Eight months ago today you had your first brain surgery and we received your cancer diagnosis, so the sobering thought hits me that today could be very different if that week in June had played out differently.  I'm so grateful that today we made a snowman, took a nap together, built Legos, and planned what you would do at daycare tomorrow for your birthday.  Without you I cannot breathe.  Happy Birthday, Princess!!  You are everything I dreamed for and together as a family we can do anything.  I am so proud of you.  You have big things ahead on the horizon and I cannot wait to see where life takes us next.  

Love, 

Mommy
