Seven years ago today...

We received a beautiful Rose

Papi and I were together at the ultrasound appointment

I cried when the technician announced that you would be a girl.

I don't know why I teared up, but I instantly felt your sweetness

I knew my life would be enriched because of you.

Since then you haven't disappointed...



Your hugs are always tight and heartfelt

Your smirks crack us up

As you've grown, so has your goofiness

Where did you get your sense of humor Rose?

You started life quietly yet 

inquisitively,

and then..

WOW!

Our Rose,

such life

such a spirit!

The thinker, the questioner;

all those questions you ask have meaning and a purpose.

You goofiness is a gift

as is your desire to please.

Oh how my heart stops when you express your sadness

and leaps for joy when you are pleased.

Rose, you are a gift to your siblings

and a treasure to us all

Happy 7th Birthday!!
