What a great post! I loved reading it. I hope that one day I will meet you and your reason for being all of these things. Thanks for sharing a mother's love. Happy Mother's day!
That made me cry Melissa! You put everything so perfectly. Maya is so lucky to have such a great momma. Happy 1st Mother's Day to you!
Very Sweet Melissa! Love the pics!
She looks more and more like you every day! Happy Mothers day! Love ya!
Because of her, I miss YOU even more! (And I blog stock more diligently than ever!) Please empty that memory card on your blog more often! Maybe we should let Maya decide whether or not I come out to Boston. How about if she wakes up in the middle of the night tonight, that really means I should come out. Let me know!
Totally crying now.

She's a doll. Love her. (and her mom)
That is beautiful!
