I know I should be going back to bed, but I want to record these feelings while they’re still so fresh.
Holding you tonight, Anders, your head tucked warmly under my chin and your body, wrapped tight as a package, pressed against my chest, I smiled and was immersed in joy. I want you to always know how longed for, excited about and rejoiced in your birth was. Already I can tell what a unifying force your sweet spirit is going to have on our family. We’re so thrilled to have you. Welcome!
