We did it. We fed, bathed, loved, snuggled, laughed, cried, played, changed, cared for Charlotte for an entire year. One year. Because this event was guaranteed to break my heart, I decided to redirect my focus on planning a fun celebration. I know, "Charlotte won't know it's for her." You're right: it was for me.
I had so much fun scouring the internet for clever ideas, making decorations, baking food, it helped me to concentrate on what a blessing she is and what a true celebration her birthday is; rather than wallowing in self-pity.
The party was so a blast. It was the most perfect day outside and the yard passed its first real test with flying colors.
Charlotte seemed to have a wonderful time. She was showered with generous gifts and thanked everyone with big smiles and excitement.
