Ethan,
Today is your first birthday. It wasn't exactly how I had planned to spend it, 12 months ago when you were born. I worried so needlessly about the fact that you were born on a holiday. I didn't want you to have to share your birthday with anything. I worried that you'd never get to have your birthday party on your actual birthday. Now we won't even have a party for you each year so I worried about that for nothing. I would give anything to have you here and have to celebrate your birthday on the 5th or the 6th, but that wasn't God's plan for you.
I am so proud of how you fought so hard while you were here and how you went through your last few weeks without complaining. I know it must not have been that comfortable for you. I can't wait until the day that I get to see you again and maybe hold you (who knows if you'll still be a baby or a grown up when I see you again). I hope you will remember me. If many years pass before I get to see you, please don't forget me, ok? I love you so much. You will always be my precious baby boy.
Love, Mommy

I've been thinking about you all day. Now you can make every year a big celebration to remember how great he was and how much he did for you family while he was here. Love you sweetheart.
Happy Birthday, sweet Ethan. You share your birthday with my mom, so we'll remember you every year and we'll be sure to celebrate double.
Love you, Jessica. We missed you this weekend... but sending hugs your way.
Jessica - where are you? I tried emailing but it came back undelivered and I don't see an email address on this page. Email me, please. Love, Char.
