During this first few weeks of Joseph's life, I started to realize that I had better start keeping a journal or some of the gems of his baby-hood might not get related to him. I decided that I would create this journal in the form of letters to Joseph so that he can read them whenever he wants and know a little bit about how special and magical this time was. The following entries are those letters to Joseph.
September 2006
Dearest Joseph…
I began to realize in the days after you were born that you were going to bloom and evolve so quickly, that I had better start keeping a journal, or some of the details of your growing up might get lost. I remember asking my Mom about things that I did when I was little, and loving to hear her stories about my ‘firsts’. Even now, particularly as I’m learning how to take care of you, I’m asking her questions about how she comforted me, when I first smiled, etc…in order to understand you better. I hope that when you read this someday, you will know how much I love you and love every second of raising you. Even as we are just beginning this journey together, I am so excited, and yes a little daunted, at the prospect of helping you to become who you are meant to be…really to help you along the way to becoming who you want to be and to know yourself, since that is so very important in being happy.
