Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

I tell her 5 times a day how much i love her.

I kiss and bite her cheeks easily 3-5 times a day.

I tell her that she is the smartest little girl i know.

I tell her that her eyes can light up the night.

I tell her she is the best big sister ever.

I hug her numerous times a day.

I let her know she is the bravest person i know after every time i pull the trigger on the lancet device.

I dream for her.

I ask her to be a good girl.

I want her to love some one as much as i love her.


Four years ago i didnt know how to do all of this. I did not know what i was capable of. But a little helpless ball of joy changed that for me. Thank you Emma.

And Happy Birthday! You deserve NOTHING but the very best!


I love you.

Dada.

My heart just did a flip. That was the nicest post from a father to a daughter. Save this for her.

I can't believe she's 4 already. She was just a baby when you and Denise found us.

Happy Birthday Emma!!

I know. Just a baby. We often see other 18 month old children and cannot believe that emma was DX'd at that point. Then we didnt see her as such a small helpless being but we saw her as our big 2 year old. It really puts in perspective on how little she really was.
It just wasnt/isnt fair.
