When you have a newborn people love to tell you how quickly time will pass & how you should enjoy every fleeting moment because one day you'll look back & wonder where the time has gone. That day has come which will be followed by many more & the only way for me to really describe it is bittersweet. And the thing is, no matter how much you enjoy those moments, the time still flies. It seems as if in a blink the baby Ruby is gone forever. There are so many things I want to teach this daughter of mine & I thought every year on her birthday I would write down some things that I want her to know.
1. Be a strong & feminine woman - these two characteristics blend beautifully.
2. Always write thank-you notes. Feeling gratitude is good, expressing it is better.
3. Paint your nails. It will make you feel good & it leaves a solid 10 minutes where you are incapacitated.
4. Your story is miraculous & that is no accident. You have great things in store for you so be ready for them.
5. Marry someone like your dad, it will make for a happy life.
It's unbelievable how at the moment Ruby was born she stole our hearts forever. That child of mine will never fully understand what she has meant to us. She healed my heart & filled a void that for a long time seemed like it would never go away. This has been the best year of our lives & every day we feel so incredibly lucky to call her ours. Happy Birthday baby girl.
