Dear Breckette Ann,

On March 8, 2013 you changed our lives, and oh how my cup overflows. You are the center of our world, my sweet girl. Your name is unique much like you are. You are special and one of a kind. We just felt a tie to the name Breckette not sure why, but it just fit. Your middle name, Ann, comes from your Grandma and Nana. It's extra special you see, because it is their middle name too!

When you first arrived you didn't even cry just looked up at your daddy and the two of you stared in wonder at eachother. It was a rare special moment that only the two of you will forever share.
It wasn't an easy fight to get you here. Your mommy and daddy faught hard for you, baby girl, just as we always will. But you came into this world as the light of our lives. You were the most perfect 7lb 5oz little girl I've ever seen. With the most radient blue eyes. A blue that only rivals that of the deep ocean or the most perfect clear summer day. Breathtaking! (They are much like your daddy's eyes...just as I prayed for) Your hair was a spitting image of mine..dark! Although, it didn't stay that way for long. Gourgeous, simply gourgeous is what you are!
When we finally got to take you home it was probably the most scary thing I've gone through. I didn't know what to do. I was a new mom with the biggest gift of her life and you were mine to take care of. I read all the books I could on preparing for you, but here we were just your dad, me and you. All those late nights of just me and you....well I wouldn't take them back for anything! It wasn't easy but we've managed just fine. You and me baby girl, we conqured our fears and trials and created memories along the way. I don't think I could as for anything more.
You were so loved on by so many! You are one lucky girl!! You had people coming in from all across the US just to see your beautiful smile. And boy did you smile that beautiful smile for them and anyone else. I pray there is never a doubt in your mind how much you are loved. It spans across the US by people who have never even met you, yet love you more than words can describe. And that doesn't even come close to how much we love you.

I'm gunna fill you in on a little secret...your daddy is a big softy when it comes to you. Oh how I wish you could see him with you from my point of view! The love and bond you two share fills the room like the warm light from a blazing red sunset. It fills me with more joy than words could possibly describe. And you eat it up. You are his biggest fan. When you look at him, you can see it all over your face that he is your first true love, your prince in shining armour, your hero, YOUR DADDY. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
My sweet sweet girl time is flying by. The first 6 months of your life zipped by far too fast. If only I could some how slow it down or save it in a jar just to be able to look back at these moments. But thats not possible so I sit back and watch in awe of the beautiful gift that you are. You are growing and developing and changing everyday and we couldn't be more proud of you.You are so smart! Watching you learn how to smile, roll, laugh, sit, play and now eating it is such a wonderful journey.
The Lord has blessed us beyond belief. Your gentle spirit is unfolding in front of our eyes and I cannot wait to see what the Lord is going to do with it. He has big plans for you and of that I'm sure!
And that smile, oh that smile!!! You are so quick to smile and I pray that you stay that way. Latch onto that joy and keep it in you forever. You light up a room and fill it with so much joy just from that smile. Never let that go , my love.

You are my joy.

With all my love,
Mom
