one year ago today...

my heart was let outside of my body.

she came as a tiny little baby. 
she was hot pink and beautiful. 
everything was a blur. 
i didn't know what had hit me. 
what my life had just become. 
but i know now. 

she is my life. 
she is in every song. 
in every laugh. 
in every happiness. 
everything innocent. 
she is everything that is beautiful.

she came to me as a surprise. 
and now i can picture my life in no other way. 
she had changed me. 
she is the gift that saved me. 
without her, i would still be floating. 

she gives me purpose and reason. 
she gives me joy that i have never felt before.
she is the reason i get out of bed in the morning.
i cannot wait to see her smiling face
waiting for me to come and get her.
she is as excited to see me as i am to see her.
like the night was just too long for us to be apart.

i love her more than i will ever be able to describe.

happy birthday, piper ann!  i love you.
