Dear Abigail,
You are now 3 years old. Three sweetheart! I have no idea how the last 3 years have passed me by. I find myself reminiscing and looking back at old photos, especially lately, and can't believe that today, 3 short years ago, we brought you home from the hospital. It was such a surreal day. Your daddy and I had no idea what we were doing. We still don't. But I can tell you one thing...we have loved you deeply every single day of your precious life. A lot has happened in the last 3 years Abbie. Our families have gone through happiness, tragedy, sadness...all of it. You became a big sister....and boy have you surpassed any expectations I ever had of you in this role. You are an amazing big sister. You started Preschool. I will always be so proud of how quickly you acclimated to that. It's such a big change but you, once again, proved to us that you are good with change. You have so many friends there, your teachers love you and you are so happy when I pick you up. My heart is full.
We celebrated your 3rd birthday at the park, surrounded by friends and family...everyone that loves you. It was a wonderful day. Your theme? Minnie Mouse. You are still loyal to that mouse. You had a blast at your party and your daddy and I did it all for your happiness. You deserved it all.
These days are a talking machine. You never stop, from morning to night. You speak so clearly and so well that sometimes I forget that you've only just turned 3 because you've been talking like this since you were 2. You are so smart, hilarious, sassy, sweet, creative and you are so beautiful, inside and out. I remind you of that all the time. I tell you that what's most important is being beautiful from the inside. You have your moments when you act like a "threenager" but I try to remind myself that it will pass. You drive me crazy but I would be lost without you. You adore your sister and your sister adores you. You and her are our greatest gifts in life. I get emotional at the thought Abbie. I get sad to think that Grandma Nanette, Tio Henry and Diegito never got to meet you but I thank them daily for always watching over you and your sister. They are truly your angels.
You daddy and I celebrated 10 years of marriage in September. Ten! Best decision I ever made was marrying him. I'm a smart girl. He is my everything. I don't tell him nearly as much as I should nor do I show him but I hope he always feels it. He is our biggest supporter and we are his girls. I pray to God that you and Cami find someone as amazing as him to spend your lives with. I'm feeling extra sentimental since you just turned 3 and your sister is 1 soon.
On those nights when the 4 of us are in our bedroom, laying closely on the bed, because it's too small for all 4 of us, I just look around at my life and although it's not perfect, I tell myself how incredibly lucky I am to have all 3 of you. I don't know what I did to deserve it but I try to never take it for granted.
You are 3 years old sweetheart. May God continue to bless you with many more years. I hope all your birthday wishes come true my beautiful Abigail Nanette. We love you so much.
