Today's post is completely off topic of the normal wedding chatter. More and more lately I have thought about my one day baby(s). Oh no Rusty, you better run. All kidding aside and no babies in the near future, I thought I would write them a note.
One day I can look back on this and smile. Life is too good y'all. Warning: this post is very, very vulnerable. Please be kind. Also enjoy baby Katie.
Dear sweet little one,
I think about you already. I pray for you. I pray for a life that you love and fills you up with goodness. I pray that you are surrounded by pure happiness. I am so blessed that I will get to know you one day. I know that you will be a true blessing and miracle. You are the best gift I will ever receive. You are so loved already. I know that I will not always be the perfect parent but I will always try my best. It is a promise.
I will never lead you astray but will try to light your path. I will never shame you but always encourage you. I will never suppress your imagination but will always let you dream as big as you want. I will never turn my back on you but will always support you. You my sweet child are a part of me forever.
I know that you will teach me things that I never knew about myself. I know that you will make me smile when no one else can. I know that you will push my limits. I know that you will bring more happiness than I ever imagined. Thank you for letting me learn from you.
Your Dad and I think about you. Even though you are a future gift, we talk about you. We are so excited for a future with you. A day when we can nurture your beautiful soul and you will leave a forever imprint on our life. You, little one, will be our joy, proudest moments, happiness and part of our love story.
You will love music, dancing, laughter and your family. That is something you get from your me. You will have a big heart, love making others laugh, cuddling and bringing others together. Your dad gave you that. I hope you are just like your dad because baby he is such a special man. He is sweet, caring, charismatic and a true treat.
Thank you for blessing us baby. You make me smile when I think about our family's future. We love you so much and can't wait to hold you one day.
Sweetly waiting and praying,
Katie
