First, she thanked the Creator for blessing them with another child, a baby girl, whom they lovingly call Mochi.
"I couldn't have carried her to term without your protection and guidance oh Lord," she wrote. She went on to thank her prayer warriors who have been with her since day one.
Next, she penned a heartwarming letter to their firstborn daughter, Talitha Maria. "To my dear Tali, I know this is something new and things might be a little different but know that you will always be mommy's first."
She added, "It was just you and me for 6 years and you have taught me SO MUCH. Maybe you would think that often times you needed your mom but it was really me who needed you most of the time."
