It's hard to believe that 3 years ago tomorrow we became a family. There are many emotions that go along with this day however as the years go by the impact that May 7th has had on our lives changes. Gone are the days where I was shell shocked by the sheer magnitude of being a mom and they are replaced by the joy and sheer responsibility that is associated with being a mom. It feels like Jia has been with me forever. Like I never had a day without her. Yes, I remember the carefree days of not being a mom. But they have been replaced by the day to day responsibilities of being a mom and that includes mostly extraordinary delight with the occasional frustrations of parenting a preschooler. Her laugh, her curiosity, her ability to make my heart sing, her unending energy that often beats even my almost unending amount of energy, her humor, her need to know how EVERYTHING works, her limitless love for us and we her, her beauty and lastly, her affect on my soul, has made her entry into my life the most amazing event of my life. That the anniversary of our family day in China coincides with Mother's Day makes all of this that much sweeter.
I love you dear Jia. More than I can describe. You will only understand the depth of this love once you too become a mom. It is all encompassing.
