The blessing is coming!

Oh how I miss you Tommy.  There is not a day that goes by that I don't wish you where here.  Tomorrow the blessing you left us will be born.  Princess Esperanza (Hope) will be here.  I love that you picked out a name for this beautiful blessing that means hope because she will truly give us hope for the future.  I wish you were able to be here and take part in this wonderful gift from God.  I wanted so deeply to see the proud look on your face once she was born.  It hurts my heart so much that I will never get to share this with you.  I know when I look at her I will see your smile and hopefully your eyes.  As she grows up I will see similarities and characteristics that remind me of you.  I love you my son and just as I was always there for you, I will be there for Espi.  I promise to love her unconditionally and show her what an amazing man you where.  She will know how big of a heart you had for others, how you always worried about everyone else before your own well being. She will see your smile and bright eyes in the pictures we show her and learn about your humor in the stories we share.  Tommy I promise that your baby girl will know you through us.  I promise to love and protect her to the best of my ability.  I hope and pray that she will grow up to a beautiful young woman with too many blessings to count.  Tomorrow I become a grandma!  I can't believe you made me a grandma at the age of 40! Haha.  Sweet Esperanza I can't wait to meet you!
