A Letter to my daughter on her Third Birthday

To my Baby Anastasia,

Where did the last 3 years go?  I cannot believe that in a few short hours you will start the third year of your life.  I truly hope the next year will be better than the last.  You have had so many trials in your short life, trials I wish I could take away for you.  You were diagnosed in June with Diabetes, it felt so wrong to see you in a hospital again, after you spent your first 37 days there back in 2012.

You have taken this new challenge like a champ though.  Yes I know the insulin injections must hurt, as well as the finger pricks, but you are braver than I am.  I don't think I could ever bear the pain continually.  I hope that the approval for financial aid for your pump comes soon so we can stop giving you so many needles.

I love watching you grow, your little personality is coming out more and more every day.  You are becoming more outgoing and you definately are not as shy as you were last year.  Today you are clinging to your stuffed Lambie, and Pokemon Rabbit...who knows what you will cling to tomorrow as it seems to change daily.

You love chicken nuggets, fries and white dip (Ranch dressing).  I think you would eat it every meal if you could.  You love cooking with your stove top and any time you go to Alora, Sophia or Maya's house you play with their kitchen sets.

You are starting to become a little bratty at times, it hurts Mommy when you get like this.  I don't like it but I have faith that it gets better as you get older and understand a little more what you are doing.

I wish I knew what else to say, but I don't.  The only thing I can say is how much I love you and wish you lots of fun and happiness this coming year.

Love,

Mommy
