On a sun-kissed morning, the third of Jan
You became a mom, earlier than our plan
Ten little fingers, toes counting same
Tiniest wonder, cute little dame
You became a mom, earlier than our plan
Ten little fingers, toes counting same
Tiniest wonder, cute little dame
Through a wall of glass, you heard her cries
Heart in heavy ponder, tears welled our eyes
A whisper born of strength and grace
This tiny wonder filled our heart’s space
A whisper born of strength and grace
This tiny wonder filled our heart’s space
With tubes and beeps, you held her near
With every breath, you conquered fear
Your voice though soft and low
Was louder than the world could know
With every breath, you conquered fear
Your voice though soft and low
Was louder than the world could know
The wait was long, the nights unsure,
But love like yours is strong and pure
You watched her grow, so brave, so bright
A tiny star that fought for light
Now in your arms, she's safe and warm
Beyond the storm, beyond any harm
Life’s greatest treasure and some
A miracle, both Laya girl and mom

What it means to be Appa:
The word means comfort, strength, superhero, home..
This wasn't the story you planned
Yet you showed up, tired and real
That's a different kind of brave
It's powerful
While it takes guts to dream again
Especially after life throws you on a rollercoaster
But here you are, imagining something new
While still navigating the unknown
That's strength
Its hard to downplay it, but you did
Turning the page when your hands are still shaking
All for your little girl, who is defying the odds and thriving
That's courage
Even if fear takes hold, you kept going
And that's what matters
That's Laya's Appa for you
Now and forever!
Beautiful
