Precious baby girl.

My entire life I yearned for a little sister, and though it took a while, you finally arrived, two years ago on this day. And in my very bones I know you were the sister I was waiting for, and the perfect addition to our hearts and our souls.

Watching you grow, though it is mostly from a distance, brings me a type of joy and pure happiness I can’t contain. You are beautiful, an old soul in a small container, and you amaze all of us every single day with the person you are swiftly becoming. 

Though you may not know it now, the love I have for you knows no bounds. You are truly the treasure of my heart. I am proud to be your big sister, to watch you bloom and extend, and maybe even to have a tiny effect on your growth. 

I love everything about you, from your name to your big brown eyes to your smile that lights up my heart. And though I cannot be with you on your birthday this year, I am always thinking of you and carrying you tenderly in my soul. 

I love you. Happy birthday, baby girl.
