Dear Em (Emmalyn),

It seems like yesterday when I met your mom. We started cosmetology school two July's ago!!! We were not friends at first but then we became inseparable. I would ride with her up to Butler all the time and we would hang out.

Your mom had something happen to her right before she got pregnant with you. I remember saying how her miracle baby would come along soon. And tada next thing I know you were in her tummy. We call you a rainbow baby! Your mom was so happy.

Your mom and I fell out of touch after we graduated but right before you were born we got back together. I was so excited you were coming and I knew how happy your mom was.

Since your dad and mom came down here I knew she was going to need some help and I did not want her to be alone.

I know I'm busy and work a lot but I try to come see you at least once every two weeks. I try and help your mom with things around the house, give her a little break to stretch her legs, and give her time to talk away.

I want you to know that you mean the world to me just like you do to your mom and dad. So far watching you grow up has been amazing and I can't wait to see what you are like when you become a big girl. Right now you are only six months and I know you can't read this but I hope one day your mom shows you.

Your mom loves you so much and so does all of her family along with your dad and his. you are the light in everyone's life and I want you to know you are loved!
