Just like ME……

We have a tradition in our house.

If it is your birthday…..when you wake up-the living room is decorated in balloons and streamers in your favorite colors.

The kids LOVE it and it has become something that is EXPECTED.

They KNOW that when they wake up there will be THAT waiting for them.

Its fun and easy.

Sooooo…today when Shasha woke up on her 8th birthday ….

THIS is what she saw…

She WAS NOT surprised…but she LOVED it..

(Helium balloons are a NEW touch for us…FUN!)

 

Dear Shasha….

You were my first daughter.

I knew when I saw you that you were one SWEET GIRL.

I knew that you would challenge me and test me.

I knew that you were stubborn and strong willed.

I knew that we were in for a ride.

And I knew this because you are JUST LIKE ME.

You are strong, emotional, passionate,stubborn and caring.

And with time and cultivation you are learning to give and be compassionate.

I see you learning lessons and I am thankful.

Thankful that GOD is forgiving enough to give me a second chance…THRU YOU.

I love you more than words can say.

I love you more than you will ever know.

Love …Mommy
