Dear Marcella,
For almost 9 years, I have been able to say I am a mom. Most days I remember that you are our rainbow baby and I recall what it was like to be without you. The last few years have been a challenge (I don't care if I am not supposed to say that, it is true). And I have never loved anyone so fiercely before you. I am so Blessed, we are all so Blessed to have you in our lives. As I went into your birthday weekend these are my thoughts...
Ella, you and your sister, your dad, our little family are the center of my life. I know some days are not easy for you. But I can tell how safe and loved you feel at home with me and your dad. And I am grateful for every person in our lives who makes this real life the best ever. We love you Mars Ella Marcella Kathleen Rina Simcha!
Happy Birthday!
Love, Mama
