A letter to Evie on her birthday

Dear Evie,

Happy Birthday!

You can’t read this yet, but I have so much that I want to say to you.

It doesn’t seem like a year ago that you came into this world, but I must have blinked, because you’re turning one.

I remember all the surprises that came with your arrival. I was surprised at how tiny you were, how you didn’t really look like either of your parents, and how you changed everything about the world from the moment of your arrival.
