Eight

Dear Angelina

Eight years ago, my life in changed in a way I didn't know possible. The pain of labor was real, and you were on the way. I can remember the fear and terror! I remember the stop lights passing and the contractions building as I gripped the door handle of the car for dear life when Daddy drove us to the hospital. I thought I would die.

18 hours later, the sun shining through the window, the room erupted in cry's of joy as you took your first breath and tiny you was placed on my chest. My life, changed in a instant as my heart exploded with luv for my 1st born child. A love I could never imagined even existed.


8 years have flown by in a heart beat. From first smiles, to walking and talking, becoming a big sister, the first day of school, and schooling at home. You have your favorite things, some changing day to day, but you are always an amazing girl! You are kind and loving, and always happy to help out. You love to make us laugh, and quick to give hugs and kisses to a sad sibling. You make friends easily, but keep a few close as your 'best friends'. This year you have begun and love ballet, and continue to make leaps and bounds with swimming. You have taken on the piano as well, and love to hear the tunes you can put together. You excel in your academic studies, math, reading and writing. We have found a perfect math program that fits you to a tea, and we can not seem to get enough library books out every week to keep you busy!

Your smile lightens up a room , and your laughter is contagious. The way you call me 'Mama' touches my heart every time. You wait patiently for sisters and brother and help out any way you can.

We are blessed to have you in our family. I am blessed to call you my daughter, and to have the privilege to raise you.
