You might meet in college or at work. Maybe you both love dogs and funny movies. You share dreams, goals, love and laughter. You decide to get married. You have a wedding more beautiful than you ever dreamed. Daddy will stifle tears as he walks you down the aisle. And you'll think you know, for sure this time, what love is.
But then one day, if you're as blessed as we have been, you'll welcome a baby into your life. A tiny perfect miracle, proof that God is real. And you'll love that baby so much from the very moment you learn of her existence. And you'll think you couldn't possibly love her anymore than the moment she is handed to you, swaddled and unimaginably small. And you'll realize that the love you thought couldn't possibly get bigger is growing all the time until your heart feels like it might burst.
And then, you'll know what love is.
XOXO,
Mommy
