Happy Birthday!!

Dear Stinkerbell,

I cant believe that you are 8 years old today!! Seems like just yesterday I was sitting in the hospital in Midland looking down at your sweet baby face and wondering about all the adventures we would have together.

We have had many!!! I think back to all the mischief you caused and the laughter that I couldnt hold in during most of that mischief making. We had traveled and laughed, sang songs and read books. You became the little woman and friend I always hoped you would become.

I miss you terribly while you are gone and I hate not spending your birthday with you. Its so nice to hear your voice and know that you are having a good time and happy. Doesnt change the fact that we miss you, but it does help to know you are happy.

I look forward to when you come back and we can sit and talk again like we have done many times. Your not my baby girl anymore, but you will always be my little girl. You will always be the ONLY girl, and I am sure with 2 younger brothers, that will be a good thing for you to fall back on! We will need our girl time, just us and I cannot wait for the mischief we will cause when those days happen.

I love you very much, and I have enjoyed being your mom every step of the way. You have already because such a beautiful young lady and while I would love to stop time and keep you my little girl at the sametime I look forward to watching you continue to grow in the young woman I know you will be.

Happy Birthday my Stinkerbell,
Love always and forever,
Momma
