Dear Scarlette,
Today you turn one year old. Tomorrow I will write much. I’ll write about how far you’ve come, about the transition of tears from sorrow to joy, about mercies that are new every morning, about what an honor it is to be your mother. But today, today I will gather you near in a way that was forbidden me exactly 365 days ago and I will rejoice.
For this is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)
Happy First Birthday my little love.
