A letter to Ainsley on her birthday

Dear Ainsley,

You are the blessing that was so long awaited and prayed for.

You were the child that I wept over, praying God to let me keep you.

You were and are such an answer to prayers.

You had so many people praying that you would stay in my tummy, most of which we have yet to meet.

You are the epitome of girl.

You like all things pink, sparkly, ruffled and girly.

You like to stay clean and things have their place.

You have an amazing sense of humor.

You make all of us laugh.

You are strong-willed and independent.

You know how you like things to be done and are not satisfied until they are done your way.

You are very emotional and caring.

You have a heart of gold.

You are an amazing sister.

You love to take care of people.

Your favorite story right now is Jonah and the Whale.

You ask to hear that story over and over again.

You remember the words to songs like I do.

Daddy and I laugh when we overhear you singing a song that we had no idea that you had learned.

You fill my heart with such joy my Pumpkin Pie.

My love for you knows no bounds.
