Day One

After moving, i have finally sorted through all the boxes and i am  beginning to see our empty apartment become a home.  One of the boxes i went through was a box i had not seen for years.  I found something very special in it.  When Mia was born we purchased a "memory box"  for her. I had purchased it with good intentions but we know how that always ends up.  I opened it up and felt the tears well up in my eyes.  I had found all of the things i thought were missing.  There were pictures of ultrasounds, hospital bands , Baptism pictures and cards, and the most important thing in the box, something i had long forgotten about,  was the letters i wrote to Mia  after she was born.  I was true to myself and the letters were few and far between but they were chock full of information i had clearly forgotten. While reading through them i realized how important the small bits of information that were in them was.  Things i laughed about , cried about and said "oh yeah"  I spent the next few hours going through the box with Mia.  It was such a walk down memory lane and i cherished every moment i was able to spend with her reliving her early years. This special time pushed me to start this blog as a place were those daily happenings we forget about so soon can be stored. A place where Mia can come back to when she wants to know more about her life. A place where maybe someday she shares with her own children.
