I am a special needs mommy

[Mom2kyky]

I am a "special needs" mommy...

something I never thought I'd be.

The true meaning of this,

I never knew until you came to me.

Your sweet little toes,

your little button nose,

and your amazingly beautiful smile.

The doctors told me you are a little different,

with a broken heart,

and an extra chromosome,

but all I see is perfection.

I think you are a lot like me though,

we like to go our own direction.

You do things your own way,and at your own pace,

Some things may be a little slower,

but slow and steady will win the race.

You may not hear or eat just right,

But when I think of all you've accomplished,

I know you are very bright.

Appointment after appointment,

therapy after therapy,

I know you hate to go to them,

but I want you to be all you can be.

You stole my heart before I met you,

when the doctors told me you wouldn't survive,

I prayed and prayed to God that you would be born alive,

and I thank God he answered my prayers!

Now you have been with us a year,

and it's just so hard to imagine what my life would be like without you here.

Your sister, Kylee, loves you so much

and I know you love her too.

It amazes me to watch you try to do everything you see her do.

Now it is your first birthday,

a happy day it's true!

I can't wait to watch you grow more and see all you will do!

Happy 1st Birthday Auriana!!
