Moriah's First Love Letter

Every day I think about what I'd like to blog about, and I begin to compose long, lovely posts in my mind.

Every night I realize that time has slipped away faster than I wanted it to, and it is late and I need to get at least a little sleep before the first nighttime wake-up call breaks the silence of our house.

And my discouragement grows.  

These are precious days, and I want to capture them to fully appreciate them now and in the future.  But I'm doing such a poor job of it.  So many things I wanted to say are still unsaid.  So many pictures I wanted to share are still hiding out in my pictures folder, unseen by other's eyes.  So many stories (including the last portion of Moriah's birth story) are still untold.  I do not like it.

And here I am, another day come and gone, and all I have time and energy for tonight is a little snippet of a post.  Nothing deep.  Not what I was intending to write about.  But it's all I can do.  

So be it.

It was short and sweet, simple and straight-to-the-point.  "i love you Moriah" was written in childish scrawl on a post-it note and stuck to the wall of her room.  The author?  Big brother David, who happens to be, by far, the most prolific love letter writer around here.

How appropriate that the one whose name means "beloved" would be the first to show his love to her in this way!  :)
