Before you even existed...we loved you. The minute you were born, we loved you even more. Three years ago today, God gave you to us to love, take care of and cherish for eternity. Weathering the first few days of your existence was like being thrown into a tornado with nil preparation. Our sweet strong girl...you came through the rain and have done nothing but flourish since you left the hospital.

When you were a tiny baby - the song Rock-A-Bye-Baby would soothe you and when you snuggled on my left side you would put your right hand on my left cheek and fall right asleep. I remember some of those moments with such bright clarity and they always bring me joy. Sometimes if fussiness was prevailing, Daddy would hold you and invariably, I'd have to come find both of you to put you to bed. You would be snoozing away right on Daddy's chest and I know he loves to think about those special times with you.

Clear moments are something to hold on to as much of the last three years also seems to be a blur. From newborn size diapers to size 6, from random cries to full sentences, from lying on your back to running/jumping/galloping...you have changed so much so quickly and we have enjoyed every minute of your growth in mind, body and spirit. We are so proud of you...we love you so much...and you will forever & always be our baby girl. Love Mommy & Daddy

Happy Birthday Hugs from Asher, Jax & Jilly too.
