Please forgive mommy if I have not done all I could to alleviate your suffering of that rash on your delicate cheeks. The ointments we've tried so far gave us hope for a little while - only to let us down one after another. Moogoo, Buds Organics, Ezerra, Lucas' Papaw. Urea cream is next on the list. I hope and pray with all my heart that it will work - or we will have to resort to steroid cream. I don't know... should we fast from dairy foods for a while? I hesitate, knowing how much you love your cheeses. And yogurt. Mom's not making enough milk to last you through the day - and so, we need at least two bottles of formula milk daily. What will become of us without cow's milk? I am not really into goat or soy. Please give me a little more time to think. God help us.
Anyway, you've grown another month more adorable, smarter, taller, cheekier and sweeter. Those affectionate kisses that you now volunteer to give us never fail to touch my heart as it searches for the meaning of life. Life, as you might have observed by now, is never meant to be lived alone. We are born from relationships (particularly that one relationship between dad and mom), born into relationships, born for relationships (especially that in the vertical with God), and born ultimately to join God in His mission to reconcile relationships - that between Him and the world through Christ, as well as those among the people of the world. I think life is about discovering who we are through our relationships with others... and when we discover who we are, we glimpse our Creator who made us in His image. He made us with love. Likewise, we've got to live our lives with love - love for God, love for self, love for others. Sophie, I pray that you will grow up to live your life with love... that your selfless love for others would inspire, comfort, heal, and draw them to the feet of God. May Christ be your hero and may savouring His love compel you to pour yourself out for the people He died for - so that they would know and believe in Him.
Happy 11 months, baby. We treasure you. Mom and dad.
