Happy 9th, Emma!


I hope you have a great birthday, my girl.

You make me laugh so much every day and I'm always amazed at your humor and wit. Sometimes I swear I'm talking to a 30-year old.

I'm so proud of your dedication to your family and the importance of prayer and spirituality in your life. You show me on a daily basis your firm belief in a life that goes beyond this one and your anticipation of seeing 'June' and others once you're there.

I love the fact that you're so much still a little girl and want to play Polly Pockets with me and dance in the living room. I always ask you to stay little and live with me forever and you say you can't promise to do that. But I sure wish you could.

I feel so blessed to have you as my girl.

Love,

Mom

    What a beautiful letter. And how cute she already knows not to promise to stay with you. Good for her! : )

    And she is such a beauty! (Of course. Look at mom!)

    Happy Birthday Emma!! It looks and sounds as though you have every reason to be proud. But remember, Mom, you are the one that taught her the importance of prayer and what it is to have a spititaul life. Way to GO!!
