Dear Ion (aka 2.0.1),

You joined us yesterday.  We haven't met yet, but we will.  I'm so excited and can't wait to hold you.  You are a very lucky little boy.  Your mommy and daddy are two of my favorite people.  Be good to them.  Your mommy even gave up the car she loved for you.  Now she drives a 4-door automatic.  I don't think she'd do that for anyone else. 

Sweetheart, I won't lie to you.  Life is hard, and there are times of incredible sadness.  But that is forgotten in times of joy, like the births of new babies.  I promise you that the good in life far outweighs the bad. 

You will learn this, because you come into this world in love.  Not only your Mama and Daddy, but your Grandmommie, your Uncle Johnny, Jbabe, and me.   Many more, I am sure, but these are the people I know. 

Grow strong, grow brave, and be nice to Gully.

Love,

Watergirl
