Dear Emma,
Hello, my beautiful darling. I just cannot accurately put into words just how much I love you. I never knew a love like this until there was you, it is perfectly overwelming. You are so special to me one little one, more than you may ever know. Here are some things I want to share, as I've been blessed to watch you grow. From just a teeny tiny dot to a teetering tater tot, I watched you grow. From scooting to standing, standing to running. From nursing to table food, table food to picky eater... I've watched you grow. From newborn squeals to "ma ma" and "da da", " ma ma" and "da da" to "NO!"... I've watched you grow. You use your pleases and thank you's, you pray with all your hearts might. You hold doors for strangers with a smile on your face, in those moments your joy is so evident. You still say " mommy hold me , pick me up " and in those moments my joy is evident. For I know that one day, closer than I like, will be the last day you ask me. When you smile your eyes sparkle, they can light up any room. God made you special my dear, and on this earth you have a purpose. But while you're little still, I will continue to hold you close and raise you the best I can. I pray that God watches over you and keeps you in the palm of his hand. You're silly like your mama and love to make others laugh. Your favorite time is bath time, and you love washing your own hair. You're kind to all the kids at school, even the ones who are unfair. You demonstrate when they hurt you how to turn the other cheek. You are perfectly perfect in every way my darling, and I am so happy to be your mom. When God gave me you, I found I where I belong. I belong at home on a Saturday night, snuggled up with you.. Watching Madagascar and eating popcorn too. I belong at the table playing play-dough and singing bedtime songs. Reading books and candy land, or watching you play dolls. Happy 5th birthday, Emma... The greatest gift is you!!!
