Wish #51

This wish is another one that is special beyond words. I'll just give you a tissue alert right now!

Caitlin's birthmother and her family sent fabric to welcome our Ty. She is one of the most selfless, thoughtful and gifted people that I know. She writes beautifully - both in a literal sense and a figurative sense. Her handwriting is so lovely. And then the words that are written on the page just speak straight to your soul. And although it isn't shown here, her poetry is amazing. She wrote:

Dear Ty,

You are a special boy and you are bringing something very special and unique to this family, the same way Caitlin did.

You have a past, a history, which is recognized and will be treasured. The silky black and gold cloth represents your past, your life before the Zuccos finally found you.

Now, you have a great big family full of people who already love you so much. You are a unique and wonderful boy, an important part of your family. You are a son and a little brother and a grandson. You should know that your parents loved you long before you were even brought into this world. They have been waiting, just waiting, to show you everyday and always. Your big sister Caity will defintely look out for you. She's very smart and she cares about you a lot. Your grandmother does as well. She loves you so much that she will want to give you lots of hugs. The brightly decorated blue cloth represents your present and future, your life as a much loved member of the Zucco family.

The important thing about family is that they will always be there for you. Our wish for you, Ty, is the following: May you always feel the love that surrounds you!

Love,
The DeGouff Family

This is just perfect. I told you all she writes from her heart and it couldn't be more perfect. Lauren, we love you so much and always will. Your words and contribution are so meaningful. Thanks!
