Dear Stella,

I'm sorry I don't get to write to you very often in here. Trust me when I say it is not that I have any less that I want to say to you or any less touching moments with you. It's just that I am so busy trying to take care of you and your brother and sister, and now growing a new baby for our family. I'm trying to keep up with it all, and I really do love it, so, so much! I just want to let you know that I adore everything about you. So many times when I am rocking you to sleep I will look at you and try to take it all in. And I will think, "It was you all along". I think back to the time when you were growing in my belly and I didn't know if you were a boy or a girl. I didn't know you yet. And I look at you now and think, "It was you. It was you all along". I am delighted that it was you! I loved you from the moment you were born and I met you. Really met you. Of course I loved you even before you were born. But once I met you and knew it was you the love just was instant and strong and so true. You are a little ray of sweetness and sunshine in my life. You are lovely. That is the word that always comes to mind when I think of you. Lovely.

I finally wrote your song a few weeks ago. It goes like this: Stela, Stela, you're my baby. Stela, Stela, I love you. Stela, Stela, you are lovely. Stela, Stela, a dream come true.

And you really are a dream come true. I love you!!!

Love,
Mama
