3 years old

3 years ago today at 2:43 am my daughter was born. Never did I imagine that I would miss her birthday. Since all of this immigration stuff began my husband and I have both missed out on Christmas, holidays and other birthdays but for our daughters birthday we always found a way to be together and celebrate, except for this year. I hope this is her only birthday that I will ever have to miss. She is a smart, beautiful, intelligent, funny little girl who deserves nothing but the best in life and her papi and I are trying our hardest to do that. In just 2 months she will be in my arms and no more goodbyes. That is the whole reason we are making this sacrifice and waiting to be together. It's so that we can be ready and be together and telling our daughter that we are not going to be apart anymore and she wont have to go through another painful goodbye. It breaks my heart to think that I can't be with her today to celebrate but I know this is something we have to do. My dad once told me that looking back on my childhood he wishes he didn't make so many sacrifices and would have just enjoyed his children while we were still young. I pray to God that I don't make that same mistake but on the same note I will always do whatever it takes to give my daughter a good, happy life. Happy birthday baby girl mommy loves you!! :)
