Happy Birth Day

my little faery child, you are still so free, so innocent and pure. openhearted and earnest in your efforts to understand everything around you. Frustration is your enemy and so is your little sister, but you can't get enough time with your big sister. today you are 8 and that just astounds me. clearly as yesterday i remember your big huge brown eyes looking solemnly up at me as you arrived in the world into your daddy's waiting hands. you are truly of his heart and him, yours. And yet, i am your comfort still. we were together every day, you and I. since the beginning. your wiggles and dances and tiny tiny body always moving against me. i love you m ore than i can say, more than i can type, more than words express. you are so unique and such a wonder, how did you come through me into this world of which you don't belong? you are part starlight and heaven, still connected so strongly sometimes you seem ethereal.

thank you for choosing me as your mama and gracing my life with your prescense and wisdom.
