Today you would have turned two.

Today your daddy and I would be celebrating you, watching you blow out your candles and then get your cake into every nook and cranny that we would later have fun cleaning during bath time.

Today you would have been walking and talking like the cute little toddler we know you would be and getting into anything and everything.

Today we would continue to tell you how lucky we are to be your mommy and daddy and for you to be our, Lily Rose.

Unfortunately, though, we never got today. For reasons unbeknownst to us, nor our doctor, we never got to meet you. As heartbreaking as that is, it’s okay. You weren’t ready to meet us and it would have been selfish for us to have asked you to stay. You will always be in our hearts and on our minds and we will always think about whose nose you would have had, whose mannerisms you inherited, how smart and beautiful you would be.

So Happy 2nd Birthday, Lily Rose!! We hope you’re celebrating wherever you are and know how much we will always love you.

Xoxo
Your mommy and daddy
