Dear Andrew,

Yesterday was your six month anniversary.  I hope you enjoyed it since it coincided with the tree lighting at the cemetery. 

It was a hard day for your father and I.  The closer we get to the holidays the more we realize how much we are missing.  Six months we've missed so far!  What do you do at six months?  I feel like you would be a handful at this point.  You were supposed to be in the US meeting your great grandmother and cousins and all of the family this week.  It seems so unfair that they never met you or saw how perfect you were.

I wonder what you would look like at this point.  Babies change so much in the beginning.  I know you wouldn't look like you do now which is so sad.  We should see all of these changes instead of imagining them.  I want you hear so badly.  I want to hear you crying and giggling and creating havoc everywhere you go.

I hope you like your light up snowman.  I thought you needed something for six months and for Christmas to keep you company in the dark.  A lot of the parents seem to have the same idea.  There were a lot of little lights at the graves and it made it look so festive and special.  I hope you enjoy them and the tree that isn't too far from your spot.

We love you and miss you so much little man.
