Your Grandma Metz always taught me the importance of thank you notes. There is something special about someone receiving a hand written note that demonstrates how genuinely grateful a person is for someone elses thoughtfulness. From the day you were born, people that are special to Mom and Dad have been beyond thoughtful and kind. I wish I could write a thank you note for each kind thing that has been said to us, gift or hug that has been given or email or text that has been sent. One of your mom's flaws is that she is not great at asking for help but, since you've arrived in the world, people have just been outpouring their love and it has truly touched us. Whether it was a care package sent from a long distance friend, meals made and delivered by friends, family and our new Mom's group, baby clothes donated in abundance for your tiny little body, dog walks for Dunkin or facebook friends reaching out to tell us their story of the NICU or to send us some "cyber strength," each kind act has made this stressful process much easier. It has helped Dad and I feel like we are never alone in our struggles and that, sometimes, its important to lean on others and accept help.
I can't wait for you to meet all of the special people in our lives. We are blessed to have such supportive friends and family. They will make your little heart strong and full, just as you make ours.
Love, Mom
