Five years ago today I gave birth to the most beautiful little girl I had ever laid eyes on! Since that day she has brought more joy to my life than I had ever thought possible! She's smart, funny, caring, thoughtful, loving, and much, much more... but above all that, she's the kindest, strongest and bravest person I have ever met!
Every day I am amazed by you. You illuminate every room you enter – refusing to be intimidated by anyone or anything. You aim that adorable-eyed gaze at kids and adults, making friends, garnering smiles, and filling the space with joy.
Your tiny arms around my neck melt my heart. Watching you sleep gives me hope and a renewed faith in this world. You are more amazing than I will ever be able to convince you of but I will spend my life trying. Today you are five my sweet baby girl... I guess, technically, you are not a baby any longer, but for today... and just a little longer, you are still my baby, you still fit perfectly in my lap and you will always fit perfectly in my heart.
From the moment you entered my life, you have made me better. From the sporadic, “Mommy? I love you’s” that you sprinkle throughout every day, to your love of holding my hand, I am charmed by you.
I see a lot of myself in you. You don´t let people put you in a box, You get scared and then you get mad and then you try it anyways. You never ask for permission... It drives me a little bit nuts because I am so afraid you will get hurt but secretly, I am SO proud of you! You can accomplish anything you set your mind to and that is one of the most important lessons in life that I have dreamed of instilling in you.
If your daddy and I had written a letter to God before you were born describing the little princess we wanted in our lives, you would have matched it perfectly. You are kind – giving hugs and loving freely. You laugh and joke easily. You can also be a handful at times but I wouldn't have you any other way!
I thank God every day for choosing me to be her mother!
Happy 5th Birthday Micaela! I love you ´til the end!
