My #1

I can't believe it has been 14 years since Maddie came into my life.  She changed me in ways I cannot explain.  There is no doubt, I had to become a grown up really fast.

Born 6 weeks early, she thrived beyond our dreams. We brought her home on Thanksgiving...we were terrified. My mother stayed with us for months, putting her life on hold to be there for me. There is no way JP and I could have done it alone.

As you can tell, I'm feeling sentimental, sad, excited, and....unexplainable emotions. As she is starting to pull away, I want to pull her closer.

Happy Birthday Maddie!
