Dear Princess,

I can’t believe you’re 4 years old now. Where did the time go? It still feels like you were just born. Time’s flying by too fast.

I’m loving watching you grow up into the beautiful little girl you are today. You blow my mind every day with new things. It doesn’t matter if it’s huge or small; I’m always amazed at what you learned.

You can even write your name now, which I’m still wrapping my head around. You can draw in the lines for the most part. I love how creative you are when we’re doing a craft or even playing together.

I’m so lucky to have such an amazing little girl in my life. You’re the light on my darkest days. The smile I look for when I’m down. You’re my everything besides for daddy of course.

It’s incredible how much you understand now. You’re starting to see my parents aren’t alive anymore and it kills me inside. But you made October 16th (my mom’s death anniversary) such an incredible day. I loved how you just wanted me to smile all day and just be happy. Thank you for keeping my mind off my reality. You truly helped me more than you know.

I can’t wait to see what this year brings. I wonder what you will learn and overcome at 4.

I love you to the moon and back!

Always Love,

Mommy

Ps … My daughter’s birthday was on Sunday. I’m late. Oops! We actually had her party on her birthday, so I was so busy getting ready. Her party was a blast though, so all my hard work paid off. Thank goodness. Ha ha.
