Miss Tiny Beautiful Sadie Jean,
I've never seen something so perfect. I've also never seen your mommy so happy. Innocence is perfectly captured in your dark brown eyes that refuse to open. My hands smell like your blankets & I hope that scent remains. Since the second you  came your fists found themselves in your mouth constantly. Grandma said "hold her tight, she likes to feel secure" well darling that part doesn't change. No matter how many times your two year old body squirms out of our arms or your fifteen year old ears ignore your embarrassing dad, you'll like to feel secure. You'll want to feel safe. One day I hope you'll know the impact the black & white ultrasound of your profile had on me. I glued the fuzzy picture onto card stock. I carried you around with me. I cried when I thought it was lurking in the garbage somewhere then cried some more when it was found in the back of a closet. Darling, life is precious, especially yours. I held that precious life for a number of minutes & have missed you every second since.
