for you are fearfully and wonderfully made

5 years; 80 months; 260 weeks; 1825 days.

what an honor, a privilege, it has been raising you. I can still remember, the feeling I had pulling you from my body and up onto my chest where you opened your eyes and shrieked at me as if to say "here I am mum!" I was really only a child myself, but that didn't change the instant unconditional love that poured from my heart. Nothing has been the same since, and although we have had our fair share of bumps and dips in the road we call life - it was been such an amazing journey with you so far. I look eagerly into the paths that are to come, and am so excited to do it all with you. You are a wonderful, inspiring, adventurous, smart, inquisitive, wondrous, beautiful, caring, sensitive, compassionate, loving child; and I am so proud of everything you have become. Thank you for guiding me through parenthood, and helping me to grow alongside you. You have changed my world, and I am forever grateful for who you are.

Happy 5th Birthday Emma Susan <3 I love you more than I will ever know how to tell you.
