One year!

Dear Bobby,

Today is your birthday baby boy! You are one year old today!! As I think about how much you've grown and thrived this year I am amazed by God's goodness and provision in your young life already!! I've had the blessing of knowing you for almost 10 months and from the moment I first saw you and held you in my arms you captured my heart!! I fell in love with you in just a few hours and have continued to love you more all the time even being so far away from you!! I've cried myself to sleep on occasion missing you and wishing I could hold you in my arms again! I am so comforted though knowing that you are in the loving hands of Damalie and all the wonderful caregivers at Sangaalo! But more importantly, I am comforted by the fact that God has you in His hands and has a perfect plan for your life!! Bobby, I want you to know that I love you very much!! I pray for you all the time and ask God to continue to watch over you and help you grow into a godly man! I pray that you will know much love in your life and will come to know God's love in a very real way! I pray you will know the Joy of the Lord and have a very full life! I'm so grateful that God placed you in my life and that I can be part of yours in even a small way! I hope and pray I will be able to hold you in my arms again in just a few months!! I love you sweet boy!!
