Dear Giovanna
The moment I found out I was pregnant, you became the love of my life. Then I saw your precious face on the ultrasound, heard your heartbeat and later felt your movement inside me. Each day, I loved you more than I thought was possible. The second that Dr. Cohen placed you in my arms, I wept with overwhelming joy and love. I knew my life would be forever different…better…fuller…more meaningful. For 365 days, I have held you, loved you and taught you. You have filled my heart, my soul, our home and my life with so much happiness and joy. For 365 days I taught you to talk, you taught me to be silent, I taught you to walk, you taught me to be still, I guided you through babyhood, you guided me through motherhood. I needed you just as much, if not more, than you needed me. We have learned together through this first amazing year. Thank you for choosing me to be your Mama. I am so excited to see what else you teach me throughout your life. Happy Birthday beautiful girl!!! I love you beyond words!!
