You are FIVE today! How in the world are you five? One whole hand, or a "Hand Full" as you would say. Of course, while you are five numerically, you speak like your thirty. You say things so straight and serious that people can't help to laugh.
In a couple of weeks you will be starting Kindergarten. I'm not sure how we go to this point. You are so ready. You are ready to spread your wings and go make lots and lots of friends. School can be hard though, it can destroy a person self esteem. So I want you to remember something....you are one amazing little girl.
You have a deep love for people and have a way of forming amazing relationships with people. Use that gift to tell others about Christ. Use it to love on people in a deep and personal way.
You are the most forgiving person I know. You don't hold grudges. You don't keep lists. It teaches me and humbles me everyday.
Recently you started noticing so many things outside of yourself, it makes you so grown up. I came down for a date for Daddy and you looked at me and declared, "You look really nice Mom." You growing up is bittersweet. I will miss the little you but I look forward to the relationship I hope we have in the future. I look forward to watching you grow into a woman and go off on your own adventures.
I know your Daddy and I have asked you to be part of life that you probably would not have choosen yourself. I want you to know that we don't expect you to follow in our footsteps. However, we hope that one day you will understand why we choose this path, why God called us to it. We pray that you would find the path God would call you too and you would follow it with your whole heart.
We love you sweet girl! We hope your fifth birthday is an incredible day and your fifth year is full of amazing memories!
Love, Mom
