My Beautiful Ellersley

My Beautiful Ellersley,
             There are barely words to describe how much I love you and how thankful I am for you. It has grown, my love and thankfulness; I didn't believe that was possible. You, my sweet, made me a Mommy. You started it all. You made my heart grow and my soul love deeper than ever before. You taught me how to trust, how to cherish and how to keep going. If you had not come, I may have not learned those things.
You, my love, have made me brave. Today I am choosing Joy, strength and peace because of you and our Jesus. Isn't he so fabulous? He gave you to Daddy and I and we thank him every single day. I want you to know that I love you from the depths of my innermost being. You are a part of me and I will carry you forever.
I will NEVER forget you. I will never forget how you felt inside or what you looked like at that first ultrasound. I will never forget your smooth skin or your little feet. I will never forget. You are our first born baby girl.
I need you to know that I am ready. It's time. Thank you for coming to me and living inside for so long. You gave me the greatest Joy!
I am ready to let you go. I am ready to remember with Joy. I am ready to let the tears fade away. I have bottled many to give to Jesus. I can't wait to hand them over to him! I will hand them over, give him a HUGE hug and scoop you up and NEVER let you go. I can't wait, my beautiful one. Your LOVE left a big mark and I thank you so much for it. It has changed me, made me new and I can FINALLY say...I am thankful.

                                I love you to the moon and back a million times over,
                                                                 Mommy
