Sweet Baby Eli

Dear Eli,

I love you more than you will ever know. I pray you feel my endless love every moment of each and every day. You are  the biggest blessing in my life, and I thank God for giving you to me and allowing me to be your Mom. Eli, you may never know just how important you are to me, but I promise to try to show you as often as I can. I've never known a love so deep existed until I held you in my arms, and I cherish every moment get to spend with you. Words can't even begin to describe my feelings for you, my dear. I love you with everything I have and all I am.

Love,
Mom
