Letter to my Kat on her Seventh Birthday

Letter to my Kat.

Where has the time gone? Just a few moments ago, I was holding your squishy, 7 lb body in my arms watching your sweet face as you sleep. Wondering to myself what your voice would sound like, what color your eyes would be, envisioning what your future would be.  All I ever hoped you would grow to be has exceeded beyond my wildest dreams. 

Everyday, I look into your eyes I love you more.  Everyday you tell me about what you did at school I love you more.  Everyday I see you care for your brother and sister with tenderness I love you more.  Everyday I see you triumph in a milestone I love you more.  Everyday I see you rise from a failure and try again I love you more.  Everyday you hold my hand and snuggle next to me I love you more.  With every please and thank you I love you more. 

My dearest Kat, I am one lucky mommy and I can't imagine my life without you in it!  It has been a wonderful seven years my love, Happy, Happy Birthday to you!
