Happy birthday, Sunflower!

Sunflower,

I remember 8 years ago on the day you were born.  I was so happy to see you.  It was one of the best, if not the best, days of my life.  I hope in the future you will see it as one of the best days of your life also.  It was also one of the worst days of my life because I had to see my girl child cut open in an extremely unsentimental manner.  Didn't they know that was my baby lying on the table with the huge slice across her abdomen?  All I could do was catch the nutrients her poor little body was rejecting and try to reassure her the only way I knew.

I was supposed to get your opening day photos but I was not familiar with my new camera.  Fortunately, your dad managed to get a film of your debut and I love it!  I dislike looking at your poor mommy but I adore the entrance you made to this planet.

I have a few gifts for you and your brothers (yes, one here and one not here yet).  We will figure out how to get them to you.  You already know about the money in your bank account because we went there on Jacob's birthday with the money from my piggy bank.  I believe you already know I love you whether I give you gifts or not but I did not want to let this day go by without doing everything within my power to wish you happy birthday.  I will keep my cell on when I am not in the doctor's offices so hopefully you can reach me after school.

Forever your,

Nana
