My dear Aubrielle,

There are some things in life that you never expect, but they open you up to this world you know you were meant to be a part of. This is exactly what I felt when I met you for the first time.

It was truly unbelievable.

There you were, not crying at all, with your big eyes looking all around the room. Even at that age, you were taking everything in.

And then, you looked right at me. We locked eyes, and I knew my life would never be the same.

I couldn’t believe how beautiful you were.

The whole experience was so emotional.

It’s hard to put into words what it’s like to see a part of yourself in your arms. It’s still so magical.

Instantly, you changed my life for the better.

Having you has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Your mother and I are so grateful for the blessing that you are, and I want you to know that soon we’ll all be together again.

I promise you that!
