Dear Mallie on your 6th Birthday

Mallie Bean,

Every new tomorrow is another day you are growing up and changing before my eyes.  When did you get so Big?  Seriously, you can stop anytime now.  (haha)  Your whole life we have said we can't wait for you to... (fill in the blank).   Always wanting more for you and wishing things would come faster. Every Milestone and accomplishment, we just want want want.  I think that is normal :)  Seems that in life, we rush and rush to get everywhere and then we miss living and enjoying those moments. Good/Bad or what have you - those moments pass so fast.   I am trying so hard to cherish all these moments now because I know, tomorrow I will wake up and you will be in college or married with your own kids.  Time moves so quickly.  Although sometimes it seems to stand still - it never really does.  We can't stop time from moving but we can try to live More.   I want to keep that in my memory bank when your screaming at me because you don't want to put your jammies on.  Yes, you are such a typical Toddler and it may frustrate me at times - but I LOVE IT!!  I am so proud of you and proud to be your Momma!  I think I say it every year but I can't believe you will be  6 Years old in just a few short hours.   You are an amazing little fire cracker, still learning and growing every day. Each year You show me what a wonderful Gift you are to us in more ways than I ever imagined.  I hope to instill in you to see the gifts we are given - even if they are not always on an easy path or what we expected.  We need to be grateful for everything we have and always tell each other how we feel.  Promise?  I know you don't know what that means yet , but you will.   I promise to keep fighting for you and doing everything to help you succeed in this life.  You are my world , my life and my baby girl.  I love you to the "Moonie" and Back - and I Hope you have the BEST Birthday Ever!!!    

Love Always,

Mommy
