Today is a special day

Dear Bryson,

Today is a special day. It's your first birthday. We are very sad that we did not get the opportunity to meet you before you turned one. We hope we get to see you VERY SOON. We often wonder how much you've changed (since your referral picture is at least 6 months old). You are a very lucky little boy because you are already loved so much. Not just by your mommy & daddy, but also by your grandparents, great grandparents, aunt, uncles, cousins. It is crazy to think that we have fallen completely in love with you just from a picture, but we have. We think of you every day and look at your picture a million times. We dream about all the things we are going to do with you and all the places we will take you. In our hearts, you are perfect and we can't wait for the moment we get to hold you in our arms. Take care little man. We will be there soon (hopefully). HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY BRYSON.

Love,
Daddy & Mommy

Happy Birthday, Bryson. We missed our litle guy's first birthday as well. He was 14 months when we travelled on our first trip to Novosibirsk. It is sad to have missed that first year, but it was also a great/fun age to bring our son home. Hope you get to go very soon.

What a sweet letter! I remember having Owen's picture for 2 months before we traveled, and I thought about him all the time, wondering how much he had changed. He had just turned 1 year old when we got his referral and was 14 months when we met him. I really hope and pray you get to see Bryson in person soon!! It will feel so good to hold him in your arms :)

Happy Birthday, Bryson!
