Happy Birthday Mieka

Mieka, one year ago I held you in my arms for the first time. I kissed the top of your head and told you I'd love you forever.



You wrapped your little fingers around Daddy's heart.



I dressed you in pink.



Your brother adored you.



One year ago you joined our family. Twelve months have passed so quickly and each day you change so much. Yet everything remains the same.

Every day I hold you close to me.
I kiss your sweet cheeks and soft hair and you melt into me.

Every day you reach your arms up for Daddy. How happy you are to see each other, giggling and laughing in each others arms.

Every day I open your closet to a sea of pink. Like a little doll, I dress you, carefully matching your tops and bottoms, coordinating your socks. How much longer will you let me do it?

Every day your brother grows more and more fond of you. "Mieka follow me!" he shouts for the first time as you chase him around the living room.

You've changed our lives so profoundly in 12 short months. You've grown so much in 12 short months.



Happy Birthday Mieka!
