My precious daughter. You
turned 4 today. I’m not sure how this
happened so quickly, and to be honest, I’ve been a little weepy all day long. I’m sad because you – my first born – are no
longer a baby. But, I rejoice in seeing the young lady you’ve grown into. You have big ideas, big imagination, big
dreams and big love and you share this so graciously with those closest to you.
Your kindness overflows to your family and friends, animals, and even strangers
and that, my love, is a gift. That kind
of kindness is hard to come by these days and I feel so lucky to live under the
same roof with it. I hope that that light
continues to burn inside for the rest of your life. In addition to your kind heart, you have a
quick wit and a strong thirst for knowledge and understanding. What you know, and what you say, astounds me
daily. I look forward to what you may
say next. You are beautiful, Madeline, inside and out. Simple as that.
So, on your special day, as I reminisce on the day of your birth
and the wonderful years that have followed, I tell you – as I tell you every
night and every day – I love you to the moon and back. I thank God for answering our prayers and for
choosing me to be your mama. You’re a
blessing and an angel, my Madeline. And
though you’re a big girl…you’ll always be my baby. Happy birthday.
xo,
Mama
