      How true it is: if I could keep you little. The time passed so quickly that I had with my daughter. There are definitely things that I would have done differently but will have to be satisfied with the fact that I did the best that I could at that time. This book definitely speaks to my heart, and I would so love to win it.

      Thank you,

      My son is due January 7,2011. I found this book at a local target and read it in the store and just cried. He isn’t even hear yet and I already feel all the emotions of him growing up to fast. I would absolutely love to win and share this book with my son as he grows up through the years.
