Happy Birthday Emily

My beautiful daughter is 6 years old today! I can't believe it. She is asleep, and I just wanted to take a couple of minutes to wish her a happy birthday...
Emily, you are the light of my life. I can't believe that six years has gone by so quickly. I didn't know you when you were born, but I felt you in my heart. May 3, 2000 was a day to remember. May 5, 2000 was almost better, because that is the day you were referred to me. I was living in Bisbee, Arizona at the time and when that email came to me, I am sure my screams of joy were heard all the way to Guatemala.

You are a special child for so many reasons...you are my special girl, you are sweet, bright, incredibly funny, and I am the luckiest mom in the world (okay, that is how I feel anyway!) You are a great kid and you are loved by everyone who has ever met you.

Happy Birthday Emily!
