dear row

Dear Rowan Wright...
Before you were in my tummy we prayed for you...we prayed that God would send us a precious baby...we knew that we could not be responsible for making the decision about when or where you would be born so we prayed that He would send you in His time...when we found out that you were growing inside of me, we thanked Him for his wisdom...we loved you...I am still in awe of how perfectly planned you were...as you continued you to grow, you gave us a few scares...we prayed that God would hold you and protect you and help you to be strong and healthy...we loved you...we prepared your big brother, Parker, for your arrival...he was so excited for you to get here, and was constantly talking about how much he loved you...how much we loved you...when you wouldn't come on your own, we prayed that He would keep you safe until it was your time to arrive...we daddy said, 'it's a girl,' we praised Him...our hearts were bursting with love for you...

When you were first born, we didn't sleep...we prayed for God to give you peace and comfort so that you would be able to sleep...we praised God that, despite little sleep, you were so happy during the day...you made us smile every day...we love you so much....you wanted to be anywhere Parker was...he could make you laugh unlike anyone else...we thanked God for the blessing of watching you two together...

Then you began to move...we praised God for your energy and daring personality...you were fearless...we once caught you inside of the fireplace not knowing you could climb that high...your smile melts our hearts...you still wanted to be wherever Parker was and soon began to find the joy in taking his toys...we are so grateful for you and Parker...

Along with moving came talking...at first just jabbering but soon we could make out the differences between words...we thanked God for your beautiful voice...we could listen to you talk all day long...when you are not talking, you are constantly giving kisses...you are such a mama's girl (which I love), but you give kisses freely to those closest to you...we love you so much...

In the last year, you have filled our hearts with so much joy...we cannot tell you how grateful we are for God's perfect plan...every night we pray that you will be faithful, kind, generous, determined, successful, humble, slow to anger...we pray that you know how loved you are and how wonderfully blessed we are to be your parents...
