Abigail Turns One

Happy birthday to our dear little princess!

It's hard to imagine that you're one today--it seems just like yesterday that we welcomed you into our family. While it doesn't seem like we've already been blessed with you for an entire year, it has been a long journey. We will remember forever the first time we saw you, your first tear, your first smile, your first laugh, your first kiss. We will remember forever the first time we learned that you had a hearing loss--the fears that we had, the tears that were shed, the many questions that would follow. We've come a long way as a family and your smiles have given us all the strength to keep going. We hope that you will one day understand the decisions we have made and know that we are working as hard as we can to make sure you have every tool possible to succeed and be happy
