Dear Nele,

when I look at you I see perfection. Many times it still feels unreal to me. I want to pinch myself because I can not believe you are my daughter, that I get to call you mine from now on. Most of the time you are the funniest thing around. Thank you for making me laugh so much. Even when I don't feel like getting up at 4am you put a smile on my face and make me forget how tired I am. Just like when I was still pregnant you move quickly, your eyes moving fast, observing the world around you. You are witty and full of life. People adore you cause you look like a little doll. My little doll. They love you for your cuteness. Days after you were born you started smiling. I love your smile. I will never forget the two days me and you had together after you were born and your brother was still in intensive care. Although I could hardly move I tried my best or rang the bell so I could hold you. I fed you and held you under my blanket. You grabbed my finger and held on tight as if you wanted to tell me that you are here with me. At night I could not stop looking at you, unable to believe you are mine now. My little Nele, I love you with all my heart. Thank you for making my days brighter, for making me smile and laugh every day. You are amazing.
