Dear Emilia – 2021

Year In Review

You gave us quite the scare in 2021. For about 2 months you were randomly throwing up (usually in the middle of the night), you weren’t putting on any weight, you weren’t hungry, and you were extremely fatigued. Thanks be to God, but it appears that has all ended.

2021 was a year that started out with lots and lots of screaming, disobedience, and being locked in your room repeatedly. We installed a lock on the outside of your room because you would hit us and refuse to listen. But this has changed dramatically over the year. You have shown us how much you can change. You are turning into this amazing, loving, caring child we knew you could be.

You clean up after your brother, you share and play with your sister, you listen to your mom and I when we ask you to do things, you have made friends at school and at church, you have memorized a ton of Bible verses and songs. You are an amazing child and I love to hear you sing, especially “we wish you a merry Christmas” and “Jingle Bells”.

My prayer for you is that you continue to do what is kind and loving to others and continue to memorize Bible verses.
