Heart "Gotcha Day" 2nd Year Anniversary

Dear Peter Jack,

Mami and Papi wish you a happy day today on our very special "Gotcha Day" 2nd Year Anniversary. Two years ago today, you were placed in our arms forever. We remember this moment as if it were happening right this second again. You locked eyes with mami and we smiled at each other, then you glanced at papi and did the same.

When we lock eyes today, we smile and we thank God for you. Hijito, you are our light, and we thank you for filling us up with such happiness and so many blessings.

Happy Forever Day Son, we love you from here, to the moon, times INFINITY!

Love, Mami y Papi

Awww Judy, we have the same special day :-) Aren't the memories priceless?

The wait was so long, yet the past 2 years so quick. It's just amazing. Peter Jack is a lucky boy.
