My Dear Mari,
One year ago today, I looked into the eyes of an angel. I didn't know what the coming days, weeks, months, years would bring but I knew in an instant that I was totally in love with a beautiful little girl. Your face was so solemn waiting on your joy to come; your fingers curled waiting on a warm hand to take it and hold on forever. I'll never forget looking at your picture that first time, I was so overjoyed I could hardly breathe. I was about to change your world and your life forever but you will never understand how you have changed mine. I love you from the bottom of my heart and I will always be a better person because you came into my life.
Love forever,
Mommy

Such a sweet letter - something Mari will have forever!
How sweet! It's amazing how a picture can change your world, huh?
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I went out and got a shadow box today to make a Treadwell collage. Great idea!

Oh - how wonderful. One year later and all is well. You both look so happy and simply perfect together.
just beautiful, Jill. Happy Referral Day :) I was in NH for my brother's wedding weekend and I checked blogs at the hotel computer in the lobby. I got so excited to see your referral post! What a beautiful family you two are.
I'm so late - but this is beautiful. I remember seeing that picture for the first time - it is so amazing! Love to you both from all of us (especially Micah to Mari :)
Love this post..We just received our referral for a 7 week old girl on October 10th and reading your reaction to Mari's photo brings tears to my eyes as I type. I never knew what instantaneous love would feel like but it is real isn't it.
