Dear Serenity,
Do you realize that 5 years ago you turned my world upside down?
And for that I thank you with all of my heart.
I heard your heartbeat and instantly fell in love with you.
Today you are no longer a baby.
You, have turned into a lovely young lady.
For the past five years I've watched you stumble and fall.
And each time you've gotten up...cried out loud...shed a few tears...and then went about your business.
You ran before you walked. That was one of the best mommy moments in my life.
Even now you surprise me.
No matter how old you get...I will always love you.
And you will always be my baby girl.
When you came into my life,
I realized that my happiness lies within you.
You hold a piece of my heart that no one will never be able to grasp.
You are my heart.
You came into my life when I needed a shining light.
Life for us is not easy, is it baby girl?
And I'm not going to lie to you either.
It probably won't get easier. At least not anytime soon.
When I found out I would have you in my life,
I prayed.
I pray that I would a friend and mother in the times you would need me most.
I pray that I would be able to provide for you when no one else would.
I pray that you know how much you are loved each and every day.
Your smiles brighten my day.
Your laughs bring me joy.
Your tears bring me pain.
Your show of concern lets me know that you have a caring heart.
and I know that I am raising you on the right path.
The more I look at you...the less I see myself and Ricky.
I begin to see you.
A young, bright, spunky, rambunctious, baby girl.
Anyone who have met you have done nothing but love you.
No one knows what my heart feels like but you.
Today, you are no longer a baby.
Today you grow into the young lady that I know you can be.
This year you start school in the fall.
It will be a lot of adjustments around our household.
No matter what may change just know that my love of you will never change.
It's only been 5 years, and my life has been filled with much happiness and joy.
I can only imagine how much more happiness and joy will enter my life...all because of you.
I love you.
Forever and always,
Mommy
