My dear sweet firstborn, Ivy Rose,
Today you are 11 years old. When my dad told me, “This will go by fast,” I had no idea just how true those words would be. I can’t believe you’re already 11!
You were the little girl who made me a mom, the first grandchild for your Nani and G-pa. You were born with a special spark, and you changed all of our lives. Now, as I watch you grow and see your personality blossom, I often wonder — where did my little 7lb crying baby go?
But I know she’s still there, just growing and glowing up. I love you so much, and you are deeply loved by so many. We are incredibly lucky to have you in our world, and I’m forever grateful to God for sending me you.
Don’t ever change who you are.
Happy 11th Birthday, Ivy!
