Happy Birthday, Sweet Miranda!!

Fourteen years ago, our entire family hovered outside the

hospital room door waiting with anticipation for this

little baby girl's first cry....and when we heard it we all

cried too. How we have all adored this little angel!

I have shared some priceless moments with her that

I'm sure she has no recollection of but which will always

be dear to my heart. She was the first grandchild on

both sides of the family and she was perfect. She was

beautiful, she was smart, she was social, and she

filled us all with such absolute joy. Just her entering the

room brought a smile to all our faces and none of us

could get enough of her. How can it have been 14 years??

I feel so blessed to have been a part of her young life.

How I wish that I were NOW more of a part of her life.

To this day I cherish every moment I have with her.

She is always the perfect companion. She is an

old soul with a heart of gold who has put others

before herself since she was a little tiny girl.

She gives everyone the benefit of the doubt and

chooses to believe the best in others.

She was meant to be the big sister and the first born

and she came with all these amazing qualities.

None of us feel like we get to enjoy her

enough but we all are so excited to see

what her future holds. She is special in

so many ways. I know from experience that these

next few years will literally fly by and before we know

it she will fly as well.

I have seven granddaughters and I love them all so dearly,

but this little sweetheart will always hold a very special

place in my heart.

I LOVE YOU, MIRA BELLE!!

HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY WAS MAGICAL...

XOXOXOXO
