IT’S MY LITTLE DAUGHTER’S BIRTHDAY 
Today, I celebrate the tiny miracle who changed my whole world.

Some people may look away because you’re “different.”
But to me… you are the most beautiful thing this world has ever made.

When you smile, the noise of life disappears.
When your small fingers hold mine, the whole sky feels peaceful.
And when you look at me with those clear, innocent eyes — eyes free of judgment, full only of love —
I realize that you are the purest gift life has ever entrusted to me.

You don’t need to fit into anyone’s expectations.
You don’t need to be like anyone else.
Just being you is enough to make my heart swell with pride every single day.

Today, I don’t wish for you to become “special.”
You already are.
I only wish for you to grow up as yourself —
the little girl who melts my heart
every time she whispers, “Mommy.”

Happy birthday, my little angel.
Thank you for choosing me.
Thank you for loving me in the most beautiful, unconditional way a child can.

I love you more than the sky that shelters us —
and more than every tomorrow we have yet to live.
