A Picture A Day In December: Eldest

Dear Eldest,

You will never have all the answers,

but that doesn't mean asking questions is futile.

You are a gift, and when we say that, we mean you,

not what you do, or say, or wear, or accomplish.

We mean you,

the person within.

Remember.... she is enough.

Because she is exactly who God planned.

And he created a one of a kind... masterpiece,

that we are doing are best not to screw up.

So please bear with us, as we muddle along trying to figure out this parenting thing.

You have been patient and in spite of us, are doing great.

We love you,

the happy you, the sad you, the irritated you, the daydreamer you, the quirky you, the singing you, the cheesy you, the talking you, the quiet you, the grumpy you, the silly you, the patient you, the impatient you, and the you's we've yet to meet.  

Each and every day with you in it,

is a day we cherish.

Thank you for helping to blaze the trail for your sisters.

It isn't easy being the Eldest.

But we just wanted you to know,

We think you are doing an awesome job.

xoxo,

Mom and Dad
