See last years Birthday letter here
Dear Mr. Birthday Boy,
Happy Birthday my littlest one! Today you turn two years old. It feels like it was so very many moons ago that we first saw your sweet little face with those yummy little cheeks yet the memory of that moment is as vivid as this morning. Daddy and I love you so much Mr. U! So so much!!
You have grown in personality, experiences and height over this year! We have been told by all who care for you that you are one very active and social little boy. You love running all over and playing with older kids (your sisters are going to adore this about you!!). You are Mr. Social. You love playing with cars and eating and eating and eating.
Oh my little man my heart aches writing this letter without you here with us. It doesn't seem right or fair and it certainly is not easy. Then again I suppose God doesn't promise us those things. He does promise to be with us and I know that He has been and will be. So this Birthday letter this year is my prayer for you, our little Victory, and for our family. One day we'll be able to look back on this and see the answers to our prayers and God's hand in and through this wait.
Lord,
Thank you for what "U" brings to this family. He fills my heart with a joy that only my own children can do. Thank you for friends, family and even strangers who pray for him.
God, give "U" health. Keep him from harm. Protect his little body along with his mind and spirit. Give him a heart that seeks you first.
Thank you for putting him in a home that loves you and loves him. All I want to do today is shower "U" with my love and hugs and kisses but your love is so much greater than mine. Pour your love on him so thick that it oozes out to those around him.
May "U" be strong and courageous and not fear or be in dread, for it is You, Lord, our God, who goes with him. You will never leave him or forsake him (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Don't let another year go by without "U" here with us. Don't let him (or me) spend another birthday without the five of us together. Place his paperwork in the right hands at exactly the right time. Let your will be done in his life despite all obstacles in his path.
Bring an abundance of healing to U's birth country. May we, as a family, be apart of that healing.
In Jesus name Amen.
We celebrate you today, Mr. U! Daddy and I are thinking, praying and longing for you each and every day! Your sisters can't wait to play with you! Happy Birthday my sweet boy!
Love you tons and tons and tons!
Mommy
