To You, Part 2

To You,

Several months ago, before you were even conceived, I wrote a letter to you. I was stuck in the middle of one of the biggest trials of my life, yet somehow I still knew that one day I would get to meet you. It was not an easy road getting to this point, but nothing worth having ever comes easily, right?

Back then, I wrote that I didn't know who you are. I didn't know when you would come. I didn't know what you would look like.

Now I know the answer to all of these things. You are my son. You are going to be part of our family- even more so than you already are- in November. And you look perfect. You have your daddy's long and skinny legs. You have my hand gestures. You have a precious little profile.

You see, it's sometimes hard to find the reason for the trials we go through in life. But I found my reason in you. And you know something else? I would go through every moment of the past 2 years all over again now that I know it brought me you.

I love you and I'll see you soon.

Love,
Mommy

I saw this quote on a friend's blog a few months back (hi Courtney). For me, it really sums up this entire journey we've been on:

"Our life is but a tapestry and we can only see the underneath- a conglomeration of colorful threads and what seems to be plenty of mistakes. But then, at the completion, the Master Weaver turns the tapestry over to its right side and the most beautiful design is displayed."
