Sometimes bad luck just has a way of finding you.  Today we went to the beach and not 5 minutes after we got there you got stung by a bee on the bottom of your foot down by the water.  You collapsed in agony and were in hysterics.  Luckily, a lifeguard came by and helped us get the stinger out.  Then, I just held you in my arms, wrapped in a towel, and rocked you until you calmed down.  At first you were begging to go home, but eventually you rallied and ended up having a great time.

I am not a religious woman, but I do believe there is something much bigger then us out there.  I am so glad that whatever or whoever is in charge knew well enough to send your little soul into my arms on that November day you were born.  I can’t stand to think what life would be like for you in a cold or mean family.  I am so happy, as hard as it may be sometimes, that we (your whole family) get to be the ones to walk you through all the tough times.
