Dear Emily ~
Yesterday a friend asked me about your dad.... I felt like I had so much I wanted to share with her, but I just couldn't put all I felt in to the right words to convey to her the extent of how much I appreciate him and the most wonderful person he is. I find myself often talking about him to you. Today you reached for the bracelet I wear and as I put it around your ankle I talked about how your dad brought it back from China for me, and how beautiful it was. I whisper to you how much your dad loves you, and what a great man he is.
He gave you, your sisters and brother, me... the world... the most wonderful gift. He gave you the chance to come in to our family. I can never begin to thank him enough for that. You are incredible Emily, so beautiful and perfect. We are so blessed to have you with us, and I relive that feeling every moment I look at you, touch you, and kiss you. Every time you grab my shirt, talk to me, and smile. And each time, I think of your dad and thank him.
I can't wait for him to see how big you've gotten - you've grown so much since he last saw you. He's traveling right now with your aunt and cousin, but although very tired he took the time last Tuesday to find a place to get online so he could wish you a happy nine weeks. He said he looks forward to seeing and holding you again :)
