Sophie, This Is Our Wish For You….
Love, Mommy and Daddy
My Dearest Sophie,
My whole life I have dreamt of the day that I would have you. Wondering what you would look like, how your soft skin would feel, what you’d grow up to be. I tried to imagine you, me and daddy playing and kissing and cuddling, and traveling the world together. And now here you are! More beautiful than we could have ever imagined. You have a smile that literally lights up the room, and everyone that encounters you falls completely in love with your sweet spirit. It’s literally like God hand picked the most amazing qualities a baby could have and gave them all to you! You are a blessing and just exude pure joy.
The day daddy and I learned you had cancer our worlds collapsed. It was like experiencing a death every day, over and over again for the first three days, and there were a lot of “Why Us” moments. How could our perfectly healthy baby have a tumor inside her tiny baby brain? You had only ever had one cold in your 8 1/2 months of life! But after those 3 days went by we picked ourselves up, and realized that it wasn’t about us…it was about you! We had to find a way to get you better and we searched day and night for answers.
And now here we are! It’s been two months and it seems like two years. You continue to inspire us every single day by how much you continue to evolve. By how easily you laugh, and love. Your smile continues to melt everyone that comes in your path, and the symptoms your tumor has been causing are practically gone! We are on a mission my precious girl, and we vow to do everything in our power to get that tumor out of your brain for good! We will fight for you with every ounce of energy we posses. We are warriors for you sweet girl! You WILL have the life that we have always dreamt of for you, and we will stop at NOTHING to see that happen.
You see Sophie, God gave you to us for a reason. You have a message my baby girl, and we are simply your messengers. You have already helped so many other children and you don’t even know it. You have touched people all around the globe, and you have people praying for you from all 4 corners of the Earth…literally! You have become a vision of hope, and have brought out the very best in people. You are an inspiration, a gift to this world, and especially a gift to daddy and I. I couldn’t imagine having any other baby in the world but you! You ARE my dream come true, and caring for you has been nothing short of a pleasure. I was born to be your mommy and daddy was born to be your daddy, and we will win this war on cancer together!
Sophie…you have our whole hearts baby girl. We will never, ever give up! We will stand by your side every step of the way, and we’ll go to the ends of the world to make you well.
Mommy and daddy love you…xoxoxo
