My dearest angel baby, Mia Marvelle,
today, two years ago, you were born. i truly can't believe it has been two years. to me, it feels as if it were just yesterday. i can still remember every detail of your birth and that day and i thank God i still have those precious memories so vivid in my mind.
i awoke today clutching your blanket. when i opened my eyes i saw your daddy sleeping next to me. i can so much of you in him....his lips remind me of you so much. i clutched the blanket just a little harder and ran my fingers across his lips. he woke up and i started to cry. your daddy held me close and we cried together just a little longer.
i know i shouldn't cry, my sweet. i know there are no tears in heaven. i know you're well taken care of. but i still miss you...i still need you...i still ache for you...i still love you so very much.
daddy got you some pretty spring colored daisies and grandma bought you some pink colored roses. they look beautiful and i know you can see them.
today we chose to honor you and celebrate your birthday by having a baby shower for your baby sister, Naima. it was hard getting out of bed and tearing myself away from your blanket but i know you don't want to see mommy doing that anymore.
so, we had many friends and family here wishing you a happy heavenly birthday and celebrating the upcoming arrival of your baby sister. and we were glad to see that you have not been forgotten, baby girl.
i know you are with us always...you're our special angel in the heavens. please watch over your baby sister, Naima, and all of our friends and family that love and miss you always.
love, mommy
