The first time I tucked you in, wonder outweighed fatigue. I could not sleep because I couldn't take my eyes off you.
The first time you rode in a car, you slept through it. For me, the world became a frightening place to drive.
The first time Daddy danced with you, I melted.
The first time you walked, I cheered you on.
The first time you rode a horse, I held on tight.
The first time you walked far from my side, I was proud and a little bit sad.
In a few days, you become a three-year-old. Whatever firsts may come our way over the upcoming years, two things are certain:
(1) I will always be there because you are always in my heart
(2) I will always be your cheerleader because I am proud of you
Happy almost birthday, my princess! I love you always and forever.
