Then it was off to the theatre. I got a glimpse of you before they whisked you away to wrap you up warmly. Was that my baby I wondered? Then they brought you back and placed you on my chest. I stared at you. A stranger to me. Your dad whispered "Maya". Yes she was Maya.
They took you away with your father and I went to recovery. Every part of my being wanted to rush to your side. It was then that I knew that I loved you more than anything in the world.
It has certainly been a roller coaster ride my dear Maya. Those sleepless nights and seemingly endless crying. At times I thought they would never end and I would forever be a walking zombie. But all the time I loved you no matter what you did.
There was a huge learning curve for both you and I. I had to learn how to take care of you. You had to learn how to exist in the world. Before my eyes you started to grow and develop and you learnt more and more things all the time. Your personality developed too. A smiling, happy girl eager to explore her surroundings. I have loved watching you grow, learn and develop, while at the same time I have wished that I could hang on to this time for a little longer. The time really does go too quickly.
I love your hugs. I love your wet, sloppy kisses. I love your laugh. I love your smile.I love you my darling daughter forever and always.
My life is better with you in it.
Happy FIRST Birthday from your Mum. xx
Wishing you a long, happy, fulfilling, healthy life. xx

Happy Birthday to the Little Girl. Time flies by so fast.
I hope you also had a great day, as mothers (and everything they do) should also be celebrated.
