Four years ago today, Miss Hannah Mali Rose came into the world and I’m so grateful for the privilege of getting to be her Mama.

Hannah is emotional and empathetic, intuitive and charming…hilarious and demanding. Hannah feels big huge emotions and - Oh boy- she has a strong will.
She is a bundle of giggling affectionate joy one minute and an epic storm of despair the next. And I gotta say, I get it. I mean, I feel those gigantic things too… I’ve just learned how to navigate them, name them, feel them and move through them without injuring anyone else in the process. Or actually- I should say- I’m still learning how to do all that stuff ????. I think choosing to become a parent, whether it’s through birth, or adoption, or fostering, or step parenting, or any other means, is the greatest risk there is. It’s also the greatest leap of faith. You learn how to love, and you learn how to let go. We have no real control over these tiny humans that we are charged with. We can do our best to love them, and protect them and teach them to be kind, but at the end of the day, we cannot control who they are or who they will become. Loving our kids is a daily act of surrender.

Hannah was born a month early and was in the NICU for a few weeks at the start of her life. I couldn’t plan for that. I couldn’t control her recovery. And I can’t control what might happen to her in the future. All I can do is walk beside her, and remind her daily how precious and loved she is. She has been teaching me to surrender since the day she was born, and I’m so grateful to have such a beautiful tiny teacher in my life.

Happy, Happy Birthday, my sweet Hannah.
