My Dear Girl,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I am so glad you’re a part of our family. God has blessed our family by giving you to us and we are so grateful for who you are in our family.
I always think that children are given to parents so that parents can help raise them to be who they are supposed to be. However, you’ve been such a blessing in my life. And while I know I’m doing some of the work of raising you, you have - in your 6 short years - already been such a blessing in my life.
I fell in love with all of you from the moment I knew you were going to be a part of our lives. You’ve added a softness to our family that we didn’t know we were lacking. You cause us to slow down by the tea parties you plan. You reel us in with your cute smile, your sensitivity, your big dark eyes.
You love us unconditionally and whole-heartedly. You look up to your oldest brother and that helps him feel really good! You’re not too close in age, but you find a way to nurture the relationship that you two have, and I love that!
You’re a rock in our family. I wish we didn’t have to thrust you into some of the reality that is our life, but honestly, God has specially designed you to be in our family and to be a rock for your brother. You have so many ways that you can help him - and that you do help him - and I am so proud of you. Even though he’s your big brother, he looks up to you in so many ways. I’m always proud of you for helping him, for holding his hand when he needs it, for helping him focus on what he needs to do, for speaking up for him when he can’t speak up for himself. You two have a special bond that many other siblings will not have. Always keep your heart close to his - he will always need your strength and security.
I’m glad when we can give you times to just be a kid. Your smile and your laugh are infectious. You bring joy to everyone who knows you. You are quick to sympathize with someone who is hurting or sick, you offer the best of who you are to help others, and that is a wonderful trait.
Happy birthday to the girl who makes all things pink even more awesome!
Happy birthday to the girl who was born to love animals - especially dogs.
Happy birthday to the girl who knows that nothing is too small to pray about.
Happy birthday to the girl who I never knew I needed, and with whom I never want to be without.
We love you!
