my first born.
i always wanted to be a mom.
and YOU made me one.
i'm thankful for the grace you have with me...over and over...as i figure out how to be a mom with you first.
you were my first baby..and you are my first 9 year old...you are always the first.
you are hard.
but you love hard, too.
and i'd rather that than you just being "easy."
you are so so giving.
to those you love.
and to people you don't even know.
it is a quality of yours that has grown even more this past year and it's been so amazing to watch.
God is using you, my daughter.
and it's a privilege to have a first-row seat!
i can almost hear your giggle when i look at this picture.
i love your giggle.
and your hugs.
and your eyes that seem to see into my heart sometimes
{actually, sometimes that drives me crazy}
happy 9th birthday, rebekah.
i love you so very much.
