Dear little one(s),
I can’t stop thinking about you. Who you are, what you look like, how old you are, what you are doing at this moment. Are you 2, 6 months, a newborn or still in your moms womb? Are you hearing or seeing things that make you scared? Is a chaotic, scary world all you know so far in your life? I want so badly for you to know that you are already loved by us. I want so badly for you to be safe and secure.
I’m constantly thinking about how our lives will change once we meet you. When will the call come? What will I be doing? You might be scared of this new place and these strange new people. We are not scary people and you will soon learn that. You’ll have two dogs to play with named Murphy and Mya. They bark at first, but are friendly and sweet. They will be so excited for a new playmate.
Our routines will change to add you in and I think often about how I will probably be up a lot at night with you and how more coffee will become part of my life. I’ve prepared a beautiful room for you. This might be the first time you have your own room and I’ve tried very hard to make it special just for you.
Ours lives will soon be intertwined. We will learn all sorts of things about each other. I will learn your favorite toys, your favorite foods etc and you will learn things about me like how I use a soft, soothing voice when you are crying, how I will hold you tight and rock you and hopefully you will learn to trust me as a safe person who really loves you and will care for you like you need.
Perhaps this season will lead to a lifetime. I’’m so excited to meet you, love you, and have you in our home.
With all my love,
Koko
