happy birthday to all of us

Dear C,
The little boy we all love is going to be one year old tomorrow. I know the date is carved on your heart and it's one you'll never forget. It's one I'll never forget either. I held him for the first time and I couldn't believe you'd given me that honor. He felt so right. He was instantly part of my heart.
You went through so much so bring him into the world. You are one very strong woman. I can't even try to explain how amazed and grateful I am that you chose our family for Cooper. I've experienced such an abundance of joy and love in this short year. He is such an awesome little person, and he is so so happy.
It makes me sad to think that you are going to be sad on this day that is always going to have such happy memories for me. It doesn't seem fair at all, and I don't know what to do except to tell you how much we love him. You can tell he loves his brother, and his brother loves him. All of us are super-excited to be able to celebrate his birthday with him. I am so glad you brought our family together.
When I think about my family I am so content. The best word to describe it is JOY. We are filled with joy. We were certainly happy before, but it's like all the good feelings have been doubled. Cooper is literally a little bundle of joy. :o)
We love him so much. Thank you for choosing to give us the privilege of being his parents.
