Over the past 2 and a half years I have watched you grow from a little infant to a full fledged toddler. You are our first, and have taken all of your parent’s mistakes, but have still turned out to be a wonderful son.
I understand that this is a hard time in your life. Learning to share, talk, and go the potty has to be overwhelming. And on top of that we brought home a new brother! Isaac, you are doing wonderfully. Your kindness towards Eli took me by surprise, but why? I have known since you were 6 months old that your heart is exceptional tender, so I could not have expected any less. I know that you are a choice son of Heavenly Father, and that you have great things in your future.
Enjoy this time in your life collecting rocks, shooting basketball, and running away from bees.
Love,
Mommy
Dear Eli,
You have gone through more in your first 7 weeks of life, than most people go through in a life time. And I am sorry to say that it is not over. 2 more surgeries in the next two years.
Eli you have touched my heart in a way that I did not know that was possible. I still get tears in my eyes when I think about your birth. They placed you on my chest right after you where born and you were perfect. But after half of minute you had to leave, for you needed to go to the NICU. At that moment I began to understand the depth of a mother’s heart.
Your incision is healed and you are now beginning to smile and coo. You are a precious little boy who loves to eat! Thank you for coming into our lives, and helping us understand the true meaning of “comfort[ing] those that stand in need of comfort.” (Mosiah 18:9)
Love,
Mama
