Claire, my little bear:

You’ve really done a number on me.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I needed you. I can’t put into words the kind of joy you bring. I could never imagine a life without you in it. I look at you and I am speechless.
All I know is you made my heart open up so much bigger than I ever dreamed possible. You, along with your big sister have helped me become the mother I always knew I could be.
I say it over and again to your daddy—I do not deserve you or Caroline but I promise to spend all the days of my life earning you. I love you so much, little bear.
your Momma.
