Today you will be, nine months old. Nine months ago, I gave up my soul. I held you in my arms, knowing you would leave. Knowing that everything you needed, you would recieve. With just myself, I knew that I couldn't care for you. So, in the end, I knew what I had to do. They will love and cherish you, like their own. They will dry your tears and watch you grow. Every once and a while, I get pictures of your darling face. But in my mind, your smile will never be erased. It seems like just yesterday I thought you were a girl. Finding out I was pregnant, set my mind to whirl. But I don't regret having you, but keeping you I do. I wish I could have been stronger and truer to you. I know that you were meant to be with them.  I only wish that I could have been ready for him. I think about you every day and every night. How are you doing?  Are you all right? I would change the color of the sky, if you didn't like the blue. I want you to know, that I will always love you.
