My Dear Eva,
Happy 5th Birthday, its your 2nd birthday in Heaven.
Last
year was rather quiet around our house, I still felt raw and tender and my heart still ached in a different way than it aches today.
So, last year, we remembered, we remembered the details of your birth; our
family and close friends that helped welcome you into our family. We remembered the feelings that surrounded that day.
I
remembered what you sounded like, felt like and looked like.
I remember
the wonderful nurses that put up with my hourly calls to see how you were in the
NICU while I recovered.
I remember the immediate need to protect you, a
feeling I had never felt for another human being before.
Your last birthday with us, your pizza party in Phoenix and your swim party in Tucson!! How you loved the water!

| Happy Birthday my Beautiful Angel!! |
Eva when I think of you my heart is full, because of you my heart
is full when I look at your brother and sister.
Because of you, I feel so grateful to be their mother.
Because of you I am so grateful to hear them cry out for me.
Because of you I am so grateful to catch every one of their kisses
and hugs.
Because of you I don’t take for granted how quickly time flies.
Eva on January 28, 2009 you gave me the greatest gift bestowed to
a woman…motherhood!
I dreamt of you, I prayed for you…and you certainly gave me more
than I expected. You have and will always be my perfect child!
Because of you I found out some great things about me, things I
could never have been with out you in my life; qualities about me that I
probably would have hid away for far too long.
Because of you I want more, I want to know more, give more and be
more.
Because of you, Evandro and Camila have all of me.
There is not a moment that goes by that you are not missed, there
is not a prayer that is said that you are not mentioned or celebration in our
home that you are not included. I will never forget you, your father, your brother and sister will never forget you!
Happy Birthday My Angel Daughter, Eva Isabel Peña, "some only dream of angels, I held one in my arms"
