8 Years Ago

Eight years ago, my life changed forever.

Eight years ago, a beautiful, sweet, capricious angel swooped into our lives and left us all wondering what we ever did before she was with us.

Eight years ago, my sweet Little Bit was born.

Happy Birthday, my sweet girl.

You are a bright spot in my day.  You awake smiling and cheerful and always ready to seize whatever life throws your way.

You are fearless. Always willing to take on a challenge – climb a mountain, a ladder or anything that you can – just to see what is on the other side.

You are silly. You make me laugh. You love to smile and you love to make people smile.

You are graceful (most of the time) and full of music. When you’re not singing or dancing, you are usually sleeping.  You live your life as if it were a song.

You are a loyal and steadfast friend, always willing to lend an ear, a hand or anything else your friends may need.

And smart – boy, are you smart. You never miss a beat, always asking questions, investigating things and looking for new things to learn and explore.

Happy Birthday, my sweet princess.

I don’t know what I would do without you in my life. I love you so.
