Dear Audrey!
Some days are so much harder than others. Being the mom to you is a job that is not for the weak at heart. You are fierce, you are fire...and then...you are compassionate, imaginative, strong.
And you are mine.....even when I have a hard time parenting you, even when I want to throw in the towel, when you literally make me cry and bring me to my knees, wondering how you got this bold.....so much of me lives inside you.
I just keep praying God will take all that sass and grow it for his glory, for the good, into something even I can't imagine for you, Audrey.
I just keep praying that God can fix anything I may have failed to hold together.
You love Star Wars, Wonder Woman, drawing pictures, making paper airplanes, playing outside the the Lander Boys and The Steele kids. You have an imagination that is bigger than the sun. You love Roblox on the computer, you love notebooks and cartoons.
Every night we read Harry Potter before bed.
You are just 2 weeks away from 3rd grade.
You are celebrating your birthday with Claire and Abby and Kenzie today at Hershey Park.
You are so grown and yet so young.
You and Pop have started "Audrey's Cup of Sunshine Cafe" and you launch in a few weeks.
My hope is that you grow this food truck so big that it carries you through life and that your "start" in business started with this $200 trailer. I love to watch how much you and pop love to interact together.
And you love to paint with Mom Mom.
You are always excited for the days when your dad is home with us for more than a few minutes
And you still ask for me to snuggle sometimes. So I will take it.
I love you Audrey, even during the days when it doesnt seem like I like you very much. I love you more than all the breath in my lungs. I am proud of the person you are.
Happy 9th Birthday!
Its hard to believe that 1/2 of the summers I have you at home are gone.
Mom
