My sweet littlest love,
You are in the double digits today. Ten. I don’t know how that’s possible—I swear you were just born last week.
You were the easiest baby, so calm and content, always happy to snuggle close. And somehow, you’ve carried that same sweetness with you as you’ve grown. You are kind, funny, and so incredibly smart. And yes… wonderfully, fiercely stubborn. When you set your mind on something, you don’t just stand your ground—you triple down. I see it, and I know one day that determination is going to take you far.
Your favorite color is black… at least for now. It changes, just like you’re growing and changing. But there are things about you that stay steady—your big heart, your curiosity, and the way you love so deeply.
You have so many of your mama’s traits, and I see pieces of myself in you every day. I hope you find something in this world that lights you up, something you’re truly passionate about. Because if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this: when you decide you want something, there’s nothing that can stop you.
You love your cats—especially Milo—and the way they bring you joy has always been so special to watch. You’ve always had a gentle soul, especially with the things (and animals) you love.
We love you more than words can ever hold.
Happy 10th birthday, my love.
