Words were spoken softly to you before you entered the world in books, songs, prayers, letters, poems, and quiet conversations.

Even when conception was an impossibility, words of hope were gently whispered into your spirit from our hearts.

Yet the expectation of your blessed arrival remained our constant hope.

We patiently waited for you with anticipation that radiated our impatience. And our hope patiently remained alive within every shred of our impatience.

The imprint of your arrival created our compass that was uniquely branded as our parental guide. It was exclusively designed for you.

We nurture your original gifts and creativity, your propensities, and your interests from your earliest beginnings.

We sacrifice to ensure that you develop into the best version of yourself while embracing and honoring your originality.
