I honestly don’t even know where to begin to describe the past six years. Today, our absolutely amazing daughter Madi is six. We wanted her for so long and it took a long, very long time to finally “get” her. There hasn’t been a day gone by where I don’t deeply appreciate her for so many reasons.
Madi is truly an amazing young girl. She is, without question, one of the most loving people I know. She loves with her whole heart, and sometimes that heart gets hurt. She wears all her emotions on her sleeve, you know if she’s having a good day or a bad day. I love so much of this about her. I love her compassion. She’s always been a ridiculously compassionate child since she was very young. She gives so much of herself and she never gives up. This summer she has tackled so many projects that have eluded her and she never quits, she never gives up and she gives more than 100% of herself at any time. She inspires me to do more, be more and try more.
Madi is just one of those people you want to be around. I will always love our trip to NYC about 18 months ago. Without a doubt, that was one of the most special times she and I have had together. She still talks about that trip on almost a daily basis…and I’m so thankful for those times with her.
It amazes me that she’s about to start first grade….it seems as though it was just yesterday that she came into this world, that we so cautiously put her into her car seat and drove slower than we have ever driven on the DC Beltway…that trip seemed to take forever. We have so many amazing memories with her and I can’t wait to see the girl that she becomes.
Happy Birthday to our truly amazing little girl….love you so very, very much!
(and while I haven’t had a chance to take their official birthday pics yet, I do love this one of her)…it was actually just before her 1st birthday, we had just moved here days before and celebrated 4th of July.
