Dear Little Bird,
Your mommy (Cali) have been writing a letter like this in her head for almost 10 months, and it's time to put it on paper because within the next couple of day you will be leaving us to go and live with your forever family. I don't know if we will ever see you again to tell you these things.
I have been choosing pictures lately for this blog, and I've picked a few that have your mommy, daddy, and Kellen in them, holding you, loving you. I have to admit that I want you to notice your first family in those pictures.
"Is that my real mom?" I imagine you asking. "No," they'll say. "That was your foster mom."
But I want you to know your mommy Cali and Daddy Mike and even your older brother Kellen loved you intensely. And will love you FOREVER and ALWAYS.
They called your mommy Cali and daddy mike and said, "We have an infant born, and she is being discharged from the hospital." They told her all about you.
You brought so much joy and life into our house. Fostering is incredibly difficult, but we never saw you as a foster child. We saw you as a daughter, sister, niece, grand-baby, you were ours and our plan was to love you ever. Losing you is the hardest thing our family has ever gone through.
If I can convince you of one thing through this little piece of writing, please know that you were loved. You were loved so much, every day, from when you were only hours old.
All those days you can't remember, and might worry about, you were held, cuddled and cared for.
Your brother loved you, we all loved you so very much.Most of all, Your mommy Cali loved you. Every day she fought for you and what is best for you. No one loves you more than your mommy Cali and Daddy Mike.
I don't know how many years will have passed before you read this, but rest assured that if I am living, I love you still. Everyone does.
Also, know we will never stop trying to be a part of you.
I love you our Little Bird
Auntie Missy
