Surgery Day

Dear Emma,
Mommy and Daddy have loved you since the day we found out we were expecting.  As you grew in my belly our love grew each day.  Your kicks and turns as we talked and rubbed my stomach were your way of telling us you loved us back for 9 months.  You made your arrival a week ago and all our lives changed.  I became a Mommy, Daddy had another girl, Cloey was blessed with a sister, and our lives as NICU parents began.  While we haven't gotten to love and cuddle you we have been by your side each day and night.  Our love for you and your sister goes beyond words.
Now today is the day that we have been waiting for and Mommy and Daddy are scared for our baby girl.  We have put all our faith and trust in God.  We have prayed and prayed some more. We pray together and we pray on our own.  So many other people are praying for you and we have realized we will have to have quite a celebration when you come home.  In just 3 and a half hours the surgery begins.  It hurts both of us to know that you have to go through all of this, but you are such a fighter and will pull through it with yet again another fight.  
Always know that we love you and you make our lives complete.  We waited a long time to add to our family and the 9 months we waited for your arrival felt like an eternity.  Now we wait for surgery to start and for the good news that you are on your road to recovery.  Know your sister loves you and can't wait to meet you.
Stay strong baby girl and keep up your fight.  Mommy, Daddy, Sissy, and all your family and friends love you so much.  You are our angel and we have been blessed by God to have such a wonderful addition added to our family.
We Love You to the Moon and Back - Forever and Ever,
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
