Dear Grace,

Today is Daddy and my 2nd wedding anniversary. We picked today because it was my Mommy's birthday in hopes to make a sad day a happy one. I am missing her very very much today. I am trying to be happy but I have been struggling all week with a sad feeling I just cannot shake. It has just been a long week for us. It started Saturday hen I cried because I felt trapped. Daddy worked two doubles at his job and it was rainy and cold so we didn't do much. All I wanted to do was get out of the house and be babyless for a little while. By the time that came around I was too tired. It built up and built up until Saturday Grandma told me I couldn't use her car. It's her car so I understood but it hurt. Daddy spent time winding down from his two 12 hour shifts... but I sat with you for more time. It's just been a long week. We did get lucky and now we have a car. A Jeep. I have wanted a Jeep sinse I was a teenager! You like the Jeep too because it has lots of windows and you can see everything! It's our Anniversary today... I really want to spend some time with Daddy but we argued alot last night. So now I feel lonely even though you are with me. I cannot wait until you can talk! You are trying very hard and we are very proud of you!
