the beauty of being 6...



It was only your first day of being 6 and you handled it with the grace one rarely find until later in life.

You know your birthday may not go as planned when your brother starts throwing up the night before and continued on well into your Big Day. Nana stayed with Gage while you and Mommy celebrated at school. We were going to all meet Daddy for lunch but instead we had lunch at home while Gage was still doing his.

You still got to have your hair and nails done and you were beautiful. The glitter, the gorgeous braid and the new flower clip. You looked perfect for your party and we all had a wonderful time.

A lessor girl might not have been so kind to having to adapt at the last minute but then again, you are no ordinary girl. Thank you for sharing being 6 with us and for teaching us a very important lesson...one is never more at their best than when they put others first. Happy Birthday Princess, I love you so much...
