the last day being "zero".

Today is Henry's last day before he turns one. It is too hard for me to believe. I think I am in denial, actually. My baby is on his way to toddler-dom, and there is not one single thing I can do about it. It is wonderful and it breaks my heart all at the same time. All I have to do is think about holding him as a tiny baby in the middle of the night, feeding and rocking him in the dark, and it makes my eyes well up. My sweet, sweet boy.

I love you so much, Henry. Happy almost birthday.
