Celebrating My Flower

Four years ago today, I had the privilege of becoming the mother of an amazing daughter. She's only turning four years old today but she is an old soul and wise beyond her young years.

Hello world ~ 23 April 2005

Lily Victoria has more empathy and feelings for others (people, animals, fish even bugs) than most adults. It was something she was born with, a natural gift of sensing the heart of those things which surround her.

When I look at her I see a small version of myself, reminding me how very important it is to handle her with care.

Every day I aim to set a straight and narrow path in front of her full of love, faith and optimism so that she never loses her way even in a world that surely offer challenges along the way.

And now we are 3 ~Lily on 23 April 2008

As her mother, I can only hope to teach her as much and love her as much as she has already done for our entire family in her short four years of life on earth thus far.

Lily Victoria, Lily Flower, Piccadilly Lily (aka Picalily), Lilz.....no matter what nickname we call you there is one word that really fits you the best:

Happy birthday to our little girl who we think is truly out of this world. We love you!
