We Are Ready
Monday Monday
My parents visit Hannah in New York City each Monday. It's a day they treasure as first-time grandparents. I can tell you that every Monday, the weather has been spectacular. They take Hannah on an adventure - sometimes to Central Park, sometimes for a stroll along the East River and always out for a nice lunch. Here is a letter Grandpa wrote to Hannah:
Dear Hannah,
Tomorrow you will face the biggest challenge of your very young and beautiful life. You will undergo five hours of surgery and all the preparation and post operative events associated with it. Your Mommy and Daddy will be there for every moment of it, waiting and anxiously praying that everything will be all right. It will.
Your Mommy and Daddy have made all the right decisions with your best interests at heart. They love you more than you can possibly understand right now and they are doing this for you.
Know too that you have an array of family and friends praying for you. Keeping you in the uppermost regions of their minds and know too that a lot of people will be thinking about you tomorrow and probably not getting much else done.
You are one lucky and very loved little girl.
I know your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and buddies will be praying for you tomorrow and you will be the Belle of the Ball and come through this like the champion you are with a smile, chubby cheeks and a giggle.
So dear Hannah, good luck and may tomorrow be the dawning of a new era of hearing for you.
Hugs, kisses and waves of bye bye,
Grandpa

Wish You Were Here
We have been busy visiting Michael's parents and soaking up the Florida sunshine. Hannah had a wonderful visit with her Mom mom and Pop pop, had a few milestone occasions and even got to feed a giraffe. I'll share more about our trip in the next post, but I wanted to share a letter Hannah's Mom mom and Pop pop wrote to her just before we left.
Dear Hannah,
You are our very special little gift from heaven with the sweetest disposition. We are so glad you are in our family so that we can give you oceans of love. For such a little one you seem to have a lot on your plate right now. But we are so convinced that your mommy & daddy have researched your surgery to the fullest and have come up with the right plan for you. As Feb 29th gets closer we will all share in your anxiety with good wishes and prayers. You are so loved. Your daddy is our baby and here you are “our Hannah Rose” ready to take on the world. Big hugs & kisses to your mommy who keeps us in the loop with your agenda. WE LOVE HANGING WITH HANNAH ROSE.
We’re so excited about your coming to visit us in Florida. We have a Pack N Play and high chair ready for you. The weather will be perfect – sunshine and warm. We hear you are crawling, or as your Daddy say more like swimming. We will have to Hannahproof our condo.

Grandma's Day With Hannah
Each minute I spend with Hannah is the the most wonderful in the world. She is what life is all about.
