Dear 2020 Baby –
You have been born during a worldwide pandemic, something I didn’t even know was an actual thing until ten months ago.
It’s been a year of unknowns for this world. A time of Confusion. Hardships. Heartache. Quarantine. Masks. Food storage. Fighting. Pain. Trials. Loneliness. Frustration. Sadness. & Disappointments.
And now as I hold you in my arms, a gift fresh from heaven, I realize that YOU are what I have needed… no, you are what WE have needed… you are what THE WORLD has needed.
There is something about a newborn baby.
You bring peace when everything feels crazy.
You bring joy when there is so much sadness.
You bring light amidst so much darkness.
You bring sunshine in the bitter cold.
You bring love when there is hate.
You bring hope when it feels completely lost.
You are a reminder to each of us about what REALLY matters right now. That although we may disagree, we can still be kind.
That when life is busy, we can sloooow down.
That when we want to do all the things, the most important things to do are actually in our homes.
And that although we may be different, those differences are what makes this world so perfect.
As you grow, you will hear about the year 2020 that you were born in and I hope you remember how special that is. You have been born in a year the world has changed – and now YOU have the opportunity to be the GOOD change.
I hope you remember to be kind when others are mean.
Forgive when others hold grudges.
Be strong when you feel weak.
Include everyone no matter their differences.
And LOVE. Love unconditionally.
We have all learned a lot this year, but I think YOU, 2020 baby, has taught us the most. You have taught us that even in the hardest, most difficult times – that miracles happen. That GOOD things do come. That prayers are answered. & that there is ALWAYS hope for a brighter future.
*This is dedicated to all of the precious babies that have been born in 2020! Please feel free to share and shout out to all of my fellow 2020 mamas
