My Cate....

You were such an unexpected surprise. I cannot tell you how much joy and happiness you bring into my life. Even thou they are many times I want to strangle you to death to knock some sense into that hard, stubborn head of yours. I guess you are definitely...your mother's childs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I see so much of Tyler in your charastics 

your desire to be alone

quiet time...oh and then there is definitely that stubbornness. and that temper! Whah 

and the desire to hurry up and be a grown up.

always wanting to hang out with me and my friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

you are my last  child. my last baby and I am not near enough ready to let you go

yet....

You have grown up so fast, I often wonder where all the years went and how

i missed so much....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I so want you to be happy with the 'little things' in life

the simple

the dawning of a new day

and be kind sweetie. I know you are going thru this "big bad girl" stuff

right now, but please be kind to everyone you meet, you never will know

the hard battles that they've had to face and overcome.

and someday, just someday, you never know

you may need someone to pick you up

and that might be a stranger at the time

people come and go in and out of lives

for some many reasons. They are are a part of life you

help you succeed in someway; to teach a lesson, we just never know

why some can and stay

yet others leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

please be respectful to adults

and above all

LOVE

love until you feel your heart is going to burst out of your chest.

I love you baby girl

MAMA
