My Dearest Emily,
Your determination to strive for the stars is impeccable.
Your artistic ability and creativity is amazing, although sometimes being a perfectionist is mind blowing to me because I see creativity in every doodle and craft you make. Always remember that others won't see your error or know its not exactly what you wanted it to look like and always know that your time, effort and detail never goes unnoticed.
Your pizzazz to add to your outfit - yes even soccer is such a lovely touch.
Your love for people and animals makes my heart so full...and your chitchat at bedtime drives me nuts but that's when we have our BEST talks....
I wish at your age GIRLS weren't so competitive and it didn't matter if you could do a cart wheel or know all the words to a song or wear the prettiest clothes and shoes to school or even pierce your ears because everyone is doing it. . I wish you wouldn't care about those things and not let them bother you - But unfortunately it's just part of growing up!
You've played on a Hockey team and have been such a star, yes playing with all boys! But this year playing on an all girls Soccer team has brought you so much joy! Love it! and I love to see you smile, run and be happy and okay fine.....and be an AWESOME goalie.....(what is with you kids??)
You are smart and beautiful....inside and out....So smart you tell me and others that you're going to the University of Guelph to become a Veterinarian and you're just going into Gr 4! Do you know how far Guelph is??
No matter what you want, I'll always be there to support you. Even if its PINK, SPARKLY, MUDDY or playing Hockey with the boys!!
My sweet girl....remember one thing.....Always skate like a girl..the boys will soon catch up!!
Happy 9th Birthday to one of the most amazing little girls that I know!
You'll always be our Boo!
