First Day

dear georgia,

i can't let another day pass without telling you a few things.  you can't read and you don't know about this blog but someday, you will and i want you to know what i am thinking right now.

you have my heart.

i love every little thing about you and sometimes i think my heart can't be any more filled.

your face is a mirror of the daily ins and outs.  if you are smiling, life is good.  if your face screws up and tears start to flow then i know things are about to get ugly.

you do what you want to do and i love that about you.

you ask for exactly what you want.

"sissy, play with me."

"daddy, get me one more snack."

"harper, you be the brother and i will be the baby."

"mommy, sit down, you are the grandma."

you just ask people straight out to help you, love you and to be with you.

i pray that you always have this boldness, it may get in your way and people may not like you for it but i think that it will bring you happiness and peace as well.

you are the one who says,

"yeah, well i like my new candy corn skirt and i don't care if it's august, i am not waiting another day to wear it"

you are bold, funny, loving, sensitive, unrelenting, stubborn and beautiful.

i want you to remain true to yourself and not change because others do not like these traits.

i watch you each day and i wonder where you will go.

i don't have any answers, but what i do know is that the people that will be in that place with you,

they will be blessed.

they will be right next to a burning flame of determination and fire for life.

i love you my georgie.

i just wanted you to know.
