Oh, Sophia… you are beautiful! Welcome the world little one… (Wendy and Rob, I hope you don’t mind the following- a tradition in my family to whisper to the baby during it’s first days)
May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
Congratulations!
