A struggle for life

Hello beautiful Quetzalli, my precious baby girl!
Feliz!

You are indeed a treasure to be cherished by your loving parents. It is impressive how much you cherish life and the willing to live it even when you were born a month premature. You were born so small and fragile, and now your growing.

A blossoming flower at the menacing gates of winter!
You are to tower above gelid obstacles of the giver!

You not only are growing healthy and strong, you are also pretty and charesmatic. You have the gift which I was announced of. You will become a great person. Everyone surprises when they know about how you have grown healthy and without any of the usual complications that premature babies have. You are now around the 5 kilograms, and still growing. This Wednesday November 1st, the day after tomorrow, you will be accomplishing two succesful months of life. Your mommy and me are so happy about your first two months of life on this world.

We can not say it has been easy, but we sure can not dare to say this has been in vain. Your mommy and I have to adapt to your own hours. It is as if you live in you own time zone, separate from the rest of the world time zones. Sometimes you sleep at night, very pretty I might add. Sometimes you don't, at all. This new adventure for you mommy and me wasn't supposed to be easy, of course we knew it. What we did not know was how meaningful and memorable these moments were going to be for us. Some funny! Some sad, like when you got your first earrings pierced.

Two months on this world, two months with us. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. It sounds cliche, but is true. You are my treasure, all I have that makes me a rich person is you. The reward of life itself! That is why you are our Quetzalli, our precious treasure. Many desire it, others can't understant it, but you are instead the reason for us to exist. You are the treasure given to us by the highest.

Tomorrow is your first Halloween. You are going to be dressed as a Tootsie Roll, a small candy still popular nowadays. We will go out tomorrow to ask for candy at different houses, because that is what all children do on Halloween night.

Your mommy loves you so much, especially now that there's a bond between both of you. She wants to write to you, but she is so busy taking care of you. There will be time for her to share her experiences.
