Happy birthday, baby~

Abigail, 

 One year ago today I first laid my eyes on you; I had never seen anything so perfect! The day you were born changed my life forever. You're by far the strongest little girl I've ever known, and I am so proud of you. I am very thankful I was blessed with the opportunity to be your mommy, even though it wasn't for very long. 

   It's with a heavy heart that I'm celebrating your birthday by remembering you, rather than chasing you around the house, or smothering you in kisses. I know you're in a good place, and for that I guess I can't be too mad. But I wish every day that you were still here with me; how can I not?! Being your mom was the greatest gift I've ever received. 

   Having you changed my perspective on life, in all respects. I wouldn't trade the world for those 2 months I was blessed with your presence. I just wish I had had more time. But I'm trying to understand that God has his own plans. I read a quote the other day :
   
      "Mommy, why do all the best people die?"
      "When you're in a garden, which flower do you pick?"
      "The most beautiful one.."

this reminded me of you and Joshua so much! 

 
   Anyway, I hope you're having an awesome birthday party up there with Jesus, Joshua, and Gramz (:

I love you so so so so much baby girl! 
  
Happy birthday Abbs~

Love, Mommy.
