Happy 3rd Birthday!

Dear Lynlee,

Happy Birthday Baby Girl. You're three today. Today is the first "normal" birthday that you've had and it's the beginning of so many more. You'll eat your birthday dinner with all the other kids, and you'll eat cake, and ice cream and I can't wait!

I'm so proud of you. It's been a rough year, but you never cease to amaze us. You've always been a fighter. You've always been so strong. You went through your transplant as a trooper. You defied odds that I can't wait to explain to you. You've made so much progress in every single stage of development. You've grown up so much in the past few months.

You started a preschool this year and you love it. You're trying to say so much more. You're eating! You're growing. Oh boy are you growing. And you're so smart. You have so much potential. I can't wait to see what the next year,  the next 10 - 20 years hold for you. You're going to make a difference. You have a huge purpose in the this word. You've endured more than most ever will and you always come out smiling.

I find my strength in you. You keep this whole family going, and fighting, and never giving up. I believe in God and in Miracles because of you. And at the end of the day I'm so proud to be your mother and proud to be apart of this journey.

Enjoy your day!

I love you to the moon and back times 10...
