Today is Alyssa's first birthday.
How I miss and love her *so*
It is hard to be away from the family right now
I would like to hold her again
and give her birthday kisses
and make her know how much she is loved, how beautiful she is, how endearingly sweet she is...
I met her for the first time a month ago
A new little person in the family
She was asleep in the car seat
Dishevelled and awoken
She let me hug her and hold her and love her
I got to bathe her and she would cry when I put her in the water
so I would pick her back out and hold her and she would stop crying and hug me back
little little arms
Then I would put her back in the tub, wash as quickly as possible
She would cry again and I would pull her out for another hug
By the end I was thoroughly drenched from the
Hugs that Interrupted Bathtime
They were the loveliest things I've experienced in quite some time
So my dearest little Alyssa Heather
You are in my heart and thoughts today more than ever
Little people are the angels on this earth.
You are loved more than you know.
Happy birthday sweet little possum
Love your aunty from far away
Alyssa and her Grandad the Jungle Gym
