There was a little girl

There was a little tiny girl with a round bald head, big bright eyes and smile that would light up the room.

She was independent, strong, determined, smart.

She lived to please God, her parents and her teachers.

She was full of joy and silliness.

She was perfect to me.

There is a young woman – tall, beautiful, a dancer and bubble blower.

She is brave enough to chase her dream and move to NYC, smart enough to be graduating with a degree in a major she is passionate about that we didn't see coming, she is still independent and stronger than she knows.

She still has the warmest heart.

She is still perfect to me.

                                              

She has grown into a woman I do not recognize because I still see the little girl in her holding my hand tightly.

I have loved her every single day of her life including before she took her first breath.

She is a divine child of God, perfectly made and watched over by her Daddy and the Angels.

The world needs a million of her yet she is one in a million.

Today is her birthday.

And we are all better because she is here.

Happy birthday Brittany!!!!
