2 Years Ago

For Sept. 10, but since Taiwan is 13 hours ahead, it's sort of Family Day is really Sept 9-10ish.

Dear Reed,

I wanted to take some time to note that 2 years ago today, you came into our arms. We have loved, loved, loved being your parents and everyday we are so thankful that God chose us to be your Mommy and Daddy. I know that people probably get tired of me telling them how cool, great, and smart you are. Each day you make us laugh and you make us smile. Sometimes, you make us frustrated, but that's okay, that's just part of being parents! Reed, your smile makes each day better. When people see your sweet, spiky hair, they always smile and comment on how cute you are. You brighten the lives of everyone who knows you and people are constantly wanting to see you. You say the funniest things and you have the sweetest spirit. I hope that you know how much of an impact you have had on our lives and we hope that we are able to be half as great to you as you are to us! Reed, we love you! You are such an important person to us and everyday that we get to be your parents is a blessing. You are a miracle. You were handpicked by God. Your life is a testimony of God's great plan and goodness. You will never understand how precious you are to us! Thank you for letting us be your parents. Thank you for the impact that you have made on our lives. Each day I look forward to the lessons you will teach us! I hope you always know how much we love you!

love, daddy
