“One year ago, my whole world changed forever,” Sanchez wrote. “My sweet Eliana Mae, you are the greatest blessing God has ever given me. Before you, I thought I knew what love was, but nothing could have prepared me for the love I felt the moment I held you in my arms.”

Sanchez went on to write that she wishes she “could slow down time just a little,” adding, “Mommy and Daddy love you more than words could ever explain.”
