Happy Birthday Silly Sally Sue!

Today is my darling stepdaughter's 11th birthday! In my eyes, it is the year that marks the 8th year since I met her. I still remember the first time I saw her and the first time we took a walk. It was around a path that had some huge geese. We sat and watched the geese. Her giggle could fill the whole room. It still does. She has an infectious smile and a delightful personality. One thing that I can say, despite the fact that her parents don't like each other, they sure are raising her similar. :)

She is the joy of my summer, spring and winter. I would go out of my way to help her and will continue to be there when/if she needs me. I still remember a conversation we had when she was about 6.

S: - Why can I have two daddies but only 1 mommy?

Me: Honey, you can call me whatever you want, just don't call me late for dinner!


I gave her a lot of big hugs and reinforced that I will always love her. Even when she becomes a teen and tells me I am too old.

Well, today we have a grand day planned and tomorrow as well. Lots of fun and lots of special times to come.

Happy 11th Birthday sweet girl! I am so glad that you get to spend your birthday with you Dad for the first time!

Much love, much hopes for your future!

Love,

me
