My Sweet One,

As I sit here on the couch tonight my thoughts are a jumbled mess as I try to think about how I could ever express to you in words how I feel about you. Perhaps the tears that are accompanying this letter can describe it far more justly than these ramblings from a mother so deeply in love.

I love you with such a fierce intensity.

I look at you every day and am in awe that you are truly my daughter.

I love being your Mother.

I love holding you in my arms.

The feel of your head on my shoulder.

The tenderest of moments when I nurse you in your quiet room.

The dimple on your cheek with each smile you give.

You are a gift.

Happy birthday Adelyn Verree.

  1. So, so, so sweet. I can feel your Mother's Heart and the happy aching that goes with little ones growing up.

    She's beautiful, and you are a wonderful mother. Happy birthday to your precious daughter!

  2. Happy happy birthday! I'm totally choking up right now. #1 was a tad emotional for me. I hope your day was fantastic!
