To My Lovely Daughter......


Dearest Katie,

     As you complete a decade of your life on this earth, I'm reminded of your wonderful, loving and generous spirit that has been evident in everything about you.  You were first a miracle to our lives and now you are an example of a loving, obedient daughter and a caring, compassionate soul to many.  My greatest joy comes in knowing that you accepted Christ as your eternal Lord and Savior and that you want all that He has for you and your life and to do His will only.
     You are about to embark on a new decade in your life and by the end of this one, you may very well have a family of your own.  That saddens my heart, yes, but it also brings peace knowing that you are going to become a virtuous girl, and then a woman, and I trust that you will always seek to choose God's way and that comforts my soul.
   To celebrate your life thus far, I just want to say that I love you with an enduring, unconditional love that comes from being a parent that God chose to entrust to have the blessing of......you!  Happy Birthday my dearest daughter and enjoy this new season in your journey of life!

Momma
