Tomorrow you will meet your Grandpa, my Daddy. For many years I was a Daddy's girl. I lived for him, adored him beyond words. I didn't think there could ever be room for another man in my life, that no one could compare. Then I met your Daddy. Seven years ago. I was nothing more than a child myself but I knew right away that he would be the man I'd marry. He made me laugh, he made me cry, he told me I was the most beautiful girl in the world, that my soft, rounded curves made him feel like he'd come home.

Now I live for him. Our world is just that – it's ours. Sometimes we can go days and it's only about the two of us. We could have done that forever but we knew that we could share that love with someone else. That our powerful love could make a child feel secure and confident in this complex world. That child is you. Already we love you with a force that is beyond our control.
