dear sweet simple & pure coco...
this is you. pure & simple. you are a lover of life, all things alive. in a very short 5 years you have taught me more than i have learned from most people my age.
your thoughtfulness first and foremost always comes with others in mind. always before you. you think of others & their well being. that is an amazing trait for a five year old.
you are kind. extremely kind. you do for others. you take time away from you. and give your kindness to others. whether it is sharing your last piece of food with your sister, handing over a toy one of your friends wants to play with or helping me out at home. your kindness is abundant.
you are soulful. full of wisdom. your mind works in ways of a young adult. your words are full & penetrating. you make your point very clear.
most importantly you are happy. full of love & laughter. your laughter is infectious and you are joyous. truly a joy.
i am amazed by you. fabulous you. i am amazed at my blessings. you are my blessing. i am ever thankful you are my daughter. you are the one who completed our family. you made us whole. i am saddened by how rapid & quick these first five years passed us by. but happy & grateful i was there for each and every one of those 1, 825 days.
i remember your entrance into this world so vividly. i know you purposfully took your time making your way into this world. because that is you, you cruise, you take your time, you are thorough. and most likely you heard our delivery nurse when she said since you were my second baby you would be here very quick. you showed her, you made me push for 3 hours before you made your way into the world. you were worth every minute, every push & my embarrassing poop (yup, i pooped).
thank you coco for being my girl. my partner in crime. my shadow. the one who calls me out on my mistakes. thanks me for all & never misses a please, your welcome, excuse me or thank you.
you are something sweet girl. something special. always have been. always will be. thank you for five fabulous years of living full. you make me proud.
you are my joy.
you are my sunshine.
you are my everything.
happy birthday coco.
