Hannah Turned 1 Today
/
A year ago, I was laying on an operating table. It was very similar to the last time I'd been on an operating table… saying goodbye to Grace with music playing in my ears.
This time, Jim scooted up next to me, suited up in scrubs, hair net and a face mask.
Of course... he hit play a mix tape he had made for the occasion. I didn’t know it until that moment, but it was a second similarity to the last time.
I was full of emotions because on top of all of the obviously huge feelings you get around giving birth, this time it was saying hello and welcome, instead of goodbye.
And this one started with....
Happy birthday, sweet Hannah. We love you every bit as much as loved your sister, and the privilege of getting to watch you grow, learn and thrive over the past year has been one of the most profoundly wonderful things in my life.
