Happy Birthday

Our girl turns 19 today.  (The big girl, we are blessed with two.)

Nineteen!

I'm trying, but I really can't wrap my brain around that.

It sounds trite, but it really flies by in the blink of an eye.

It's the first of her birthdays that I won't be with her.

That makes me sad.

I'm glad though, that she has plans she's excited about.

That she's thriving.

That she's happy.

I have so many wishes for my girl, it's hard to articulate them all.

I wish that she always has faith in her life.

I wish that she'll find fulfillment in her life.

I wish that she has the gift of friendships in her life.

I wish that someday she finds someone who is worthy of her to share her life with.

I wish that she will enjoy good health in her life.

I wish that she will always appreciate the love of her family for her.

I wish that she will always be true to herself.

I wish that she could somehow know how very proud of her I am and how very, very much I love her.

She's the little girl I always wanted to have.

I still remember vividly when we found out she was on her way to us.

I knew immediately how blessed we were and I was definitely right.

Happy Birthday Sweetie.

Have a very special day,

may all your dreams come true.

xoxo
