You\u2019ve been in my dreams, my dear, since we started our little family. I longed to hold you tight, kiss your sweet lips, and love you to pieces. Can you believe I am your mother and you are my daughter? I have a daughter! One year ago my mind and body transformed for you. Although\u00a0I know you are still just a wee lil thing, it\u2019s your birthday! I promise you that you will have my\u00a0love forever and I will guard you from your fears.\u00a0I will not only give you wings, but teach you how to use them so you can reach way beyond your dreams\u2026reach so high that you grab whatever it is you want and it will become a reality. For you my dear, I will try my best to gather all the wisdom and experiences\u00a0that I have learned from family, friends, and educators so that I may sprinkle \u00a0just a bit of that knowledge upon you everyday. When\u00a0you are all grown up, you will be as gentle and beautiful as a\u00a0butterfly, have the strength and wisdom of an elephant, and with just\u00a0some of the lioness fierceness\u00a0on the side that will drive your ambition. But most importantly I will teach you to have faith in God, that he will be there no matter what life\u2019s circumstances are and He will give you all the strength to endure this dream-like life.<\/p>\n

I love the way you call for me when you need me to protect you from your brother\u2019s tough love, when you\u2019re hungry, or when you just want some comfort. Your quirky side crawl makes me laugh and Daddy and I think it\u2019s just too cute and funny when you scoot around in circles. I love the way you enjoy food as much as I do and sometimes you get hangry like me. Thank you for being such a good napper, ha! Your kisses are some of the best (you\u2019re in a three way tie with your brother and daddy). \u00a0Not only do you resemble your late great-Nana, but you also have her personality and at times I catch you creating the same facial expressions. This melts my heart and makes me feel as if this\u00a0is God\u2019s way of allowing\u00a0me to have a little\u00a0piece\u00a0of my Nana still with me.<\/p>\n

Thank you God for brining me a lovely baby girl. I cannot wait to watch you grow and enjoy this life with you. Happy Birthday Mamatita!
