Tuesdays around the world - cleaning out my wallet


So today I was cleaning out my wallet. Now I do this often enough that I was so surprised with what was in there. A little something I had forgotten about. So amongst a receipt for a Wiggles car we no longer own (I know I said I clean it out regularly not sure why I am holding on to that!) A photo of Jenifer Love Hewitt's hairstyle from Garfield that I love, a picture of a tattoo I am sure I will never get but maybe one day I will.... I found this.
A piece of white paper, folded only once.
It reads:


To my dearest baby

The day is drawing closer until we meet. I think about it all the time and I wonder where you are.
I pray for you daily and your birthmum. I pray she is taking care of herself, for that takes care of you.
I want her mind to be at ease as she relises that this is the best thing to do for you. I know she loves you and I will never doubt that but we love you too and we need you here with us.

I wonder what you look like? I know you won't have my hair or your daddy's eyes but you will still be very much a part of us.
It's exciting to think you will soon be with us. I can't wait to be your Mummy. I love you very much, and we will see each other very soon.

Love always

Mummy

I wish it had a date on it but I am picking it was from around 2001/2.
Oliver came to us December 2002 and then Amalie in September 2006.

What a special find.....

I am crying like a baby. This is very, very sweet.
It is the greatest honor, isn't it?

I'm sure you placed the note back in your wallet to read again in another few years! I know I would. =) What a treasure!

What a beautiful note! I still carry around a few sentimental things in my wallet, including the ticket stub to the first movie my hubby and I attended when we started datin. Whenever I see it, it puts a smile on my face :)

That's an AMAZING story! How cool! I love when little things are dropped down to us like that:).
