She is FIVE!

My sweet five year old. My oldest baby girl. You changed my life forever.

Your precious contagious kind spirit is literally so special. Literally every single morning I wake up with this sweet sunshine by me..... and with out fail every morning she wakes me up to something sweeter than I could imagine. I'm always barely opening an eye still half asleep and day after day she's inches from me, squished up real close "Mama? You awake? Mama I love you, you are my heart. " I got an email about her last week that said " I love your little girl, she has such a sweet innocence about her that grabs a hold of my heart." I can't believe she will be five tomorrow. My heart might just burst I will never forget the moment you were placed into our home. My heart was overwhelmed with love as I looked into your clear blue eyes and kissed your sweet cheecks. You were the sweetest angel and have been a ball of light ever since that day. You were everything from the first moments.

You are my little light, you light up every room and touch every life that you meet.

You are my sunshines girl, you are adventurous and independent. Your personality is infectious sweet M. I told you this week how much I will miss someday braiding your beautiful hair every morning and you said, " mama! its ok! you can braid it even when Im grown up!" You're sweet and funny, creative, musical, talented and kind. I tell you this all the time, but you are everything I always wished I could be- confident and brave. Thank you for being you, for filling a hole in my heart that I never knew existed.

You are my sweet sunshine girl.

I am the luckiest,

love, mama
