A Letter For Leah

Hey sweetness,

Today the world seemed to be turning a little faster than normal. Everything happened so quickly... you, i mean, happened so quickly. This beautiful little GIRL with opinions and requests, questions and an ever-expanding vocabulary. Independance. Imagination. Everyday you litterally make me say "wow!".

This last week has been...different. To say the least. I find myself thinking about you every free moment that my mind gets a chance to wander. You're the last thing i think about everynight and the first thing i think about when i wake up. (Maybe part of the reason for that is YOU are the one waking me. haha) But i also find myself feeling sad, and afraid. Sad because i'll never have this time with you again, ever. I can take pictures, videos, write journals, but it can only do so much to bring that time back. Afraid...that i will miss an important moment or important memory, or that time will speed up somehow and i'll wake up to the morning of your wedding.

All i can do is keep taking pictures, videos, and savor every moment. Hug you and kiss you as much as i can (and i know, i already do this a lot!). Tell you i love you, cuddle with you and sneak into your room to hold you or watch you sleep (i know that sounds creepy now but you'll understand one day). As long as i know you've smiled and laughed and loved everyday as much as you did today, i will feel accomplished.

I will be brave. I will love. I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me.

I have loved you for a thousand years, and i will love you for a thousand more.
