And She is TEN...

Dear Lesse,

I cannot believe 10 years ago today I first held you in my arms....I cannot believe how much you have

grown, how beautiful you are, how wise you have become.  It is unbelievable to me that my baby girl is so big, so smart, and so different from me...

Lesse you make me so proud, I wish I could be more like you.  I admire the way you forgive and forget, the way you love unconditionally, and the way you see things for the way they are.

You will go far in this world, no matter the challenge you meet....I know this!

I beg of you babygirl, don't grow up too fast, don't make rash decisions, remember to have Faith in God, and Faith in yourself!

Love,

Mommy
