To my sweet little Lu,
Happy 1st Birthday to you! I know I say this to you everyday, but I can't believe how fast this year went! It feels like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms for the first time and you were staring up at me with your big brown eyes - a moment that is so vivid to me and I will carry with me always. Your eyes tell such a special story, a story that I am reminded of everyday when I look at you, a story that gets better and better as the days go on.
You are one amazing little girl - your strength, determination, smiles and yes, even your sassiness, make you so special. I look at you with such wonder watching to see what you will accomplish next. Everyday it is something new with you and I love seeing how proud you are of yourself - it makes me happier than you will ever know.
Your little hugs, your sweet kisses, the way you wrap your arms around my neck to look out at the world and the way you bury yourself in me when you are being shy- these are moments I never will forget. I will be telling you about these moments forever and how much they mean to me. I know as you get older and I talk about them, I will see your eyes roll and hear you say "god, Mom you are so embarrassing" but then I hope as you become a young woman, you will remember me telling you these things and I hope they make you smile and give you comfort. The world is a big place and simple words and memories that we keep in our hearts and minds are sometimes all we need to carry with us through life.
I want to thank you for all the memories and special moments you have already given me and I know we have so much more to look forward to as mother and daughter.
I love you so much Luella Marie ~ Happy 1st Birthday
Love,
Your Mommy
