From the moment I found out I was pregnant, I was in love with my baby.
From the moment I saw her, I knew I would forever love her.
I love Emily so much.
When she was little and couldn’t talk, I talked for both of us.
“Je t’aime Emily”
Je t’aime maman
“Je t’aime gros comme un éléphant!”
Je t’aime gros comme la terre!
And so on.
Some people thought it was strange when they overheard but I didn’t care.
All the doctors agreed that Emily would never talk so I talked… A lot.
Slowly, she started to talk too 😊
And now, she writes!
I love (you) both and you always love me. Love Emily
Lessons from my daughter 
Oh that is wonderful!!
I know 😍 she makes me so happy!
Pascale, this had me almost in tears…. every time I read something like this, this always happens! I wish you all only the very best of wishes – may there be many more anniversaries and special days like this to come
Thank you Joe
how wonderful and happy you knew not to surrender to the naysayers. happy anniversary to all of you –
🙂 thank you.
I would always depend on a mother’s intuition over anything the “experts” will tell you. Emily has come as far as she has because of your love and determination. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
I am convinced that she talked because you talked to and for her. Thank goodness you never let the strange looks deter you. 😀 Yay!
Thank you. She’s so great. Little surprises like this giant anniversary card makes it all worth it.
