Dearest Brinley,
Your personality is developing faster than I can keep up and that makes my heart ache and rejoice at the same time. My feelings about you growing are just a big contradiction. I want you to stop growing but I want to see the person you're going to be. I dread you not "needing" me but I long to see you as an independent adult. I love you being a baby but I hate all the vomit and screaming with no other communication.
Someday, my sweet, you might have a child of your own and you'll feel the same heartache and confusion and joy and peace that I feel with you and Michael. Everything about my life is made better because you are here. I know there will be someday when you're an angsty teenager and you think that no one loves you or cares about you- do not believe this horrible lie. You were longed for, you are loved, and most of all you are needed.
Love, Mama
