I can remember the day you were born. I was only six and the memory is hazy to me, but I was excited, I know that much. The memory warms my heart just like those big brown eyes of yours always do. The feeling of wonder and happiness all mixed up comes back to me as I think of the first time I saw you. You were so tiny and funny looking, kind of alien like, yet beautiful. It was fourteen years ago today, the day I met my baby sister. That was just the beginning, not even the good part. I loved you from the first moment I saw you, but it was a love that could only keep growing.
My night has been spent in a photo album, like many other nights before it. I miss you every day. I especially miss you on this one. You smile up at me from my computer screen and everything else disappears. Picture after picture I watch you grow up all over again. I watch the beautiful baby transform into the beautiful young woman and I am proud. I can’t even describe how proud you make me. You are as sweet and loving as you are strong and bold. Your big heart brings happiness to everyone around you. I am very blessed to have you in my life.
I wonder what kind of loony antics I missed out on today and I laugh. You can always make me laugh. That is something that hasn’t changed. Don’t ever let yourself grow out of your sense of humor. I look through fourteen years of goofy pictures and see the same crazy girl in all of them. Thoughts of random dance parties and mustaches run through my head. To be honest you’re kind of weird, but I love it, and I guess that means you fit in with the rest of us.
Always remember that even when I’m gone I never stop thinking about you. I love you with my whole heart and I pray for you daily. Keep a smile on your face and know that you can do anything you set your mind to do. Remember that no matter what I will always be there for you. And know that no matter how many birthdays you have you will always be my baby girl.
