13 years with My Girl
Remember...
... the smiles that came quickly and easily?
... spinning circles in the stroller?
... collecting cans and bottles for refund?
... getting reacquainted with Uncles, Aunts, and Cousins every time we'd visit Manitoba or Ontario?
... hiking Teapot Hill with Grandma and Grandpa?
... walking to the library every week in Coquitlam and Guelph?
... popping the Touch-Me-Nots along the river?
... being an angel in the Sunday School Christmas program?
... cracking and chipping 3 teeth, leading to your first visit to the dentist, who, as a result became a special friend?
... playing on the 'island' on Pinebrook Place?
... riding the ferry?
... being one of "two quilting ladies"?
... bedtime giggles (or were those "way past bedtime" ones)?
... getting the "big-tonsil prize"?
... living at Grandma and Grandpa's for 2 months in the winter?
... finding out you were going to have a sibling?
... becoming a big sister?
... reciting "The End" at Talent Night?
These years have been so full, My Girl. Thank you for every moment we have shared. You are a true Gift from my Lord, and I will never tire of thanking Him for you!
Happy Birthday, Emily! You are a beautiful young woman. I hope that you have a wonderful birthday - way to turn 13!
