She will always be my baby

It's hard to remember sometimes, the sleepless nights, the struggles, the wonder if we would be able to be the parents that she deserved.  I feel like that time in our life was so long ago.  Now, life is easy, it's carefree.  We couldn't feel more blessed to have such an amazing girl to call our own.  We are more proud of her everyday, this girl we have molded.  And the love, oh the love...  But as distant as her infancy seems to me now, it still doesn't feel possible that this little baby of mine, this bundle we brought home from the hospital, will be turning 5.  She starts kindergarten in the fall, and I know I am not ready.  But, she is.  She's strong and independent.  She's kind and nurturing.  She will do great, and she will move mountains someday.  I am so in love with this girl, and I thank god for her.
Happy almost 5th birthday my baby!
