My Little Girl is not so little anymoreOkay, well maybe that's not my best work, but it's full of meaning for my little girl. She's not so little anymore, as you can see from the picture below (the last one- she's the one with entirely too much leg showing- but we were at the beach, so I guess it's acceptable.) She was born at 3:40 in the morning on December 11th. So tomorrow, she will be 15 years old! I love you sweetie, and I'm so proud of the little lady you've become! It's no longer just you and I against the world, but you will always have the distinction of being the first to make me want to be so much more than I am. With God's help, you have grown into such a wonderful lady, and I'm proud to call you daughter and friend. I pray your birthday is a great day and full of blessings!!!
She has become a young lady and more.
She's sweet and she's special,
Full of blessings galore!
She is my first, and therefore the eldest,
the first to make me want to be my best.
Tomorrow is her birthday, and I wanted to say,
She made the day special, in a wonderful way.
Happy Birthday Mercedes, my beautiful daughter,
I thank the Lord that He brought her!
There is no "MORE" to this post.
Happy and blessed 15th birthday, Mercedes! :)
ReplyDeleteShe's a lovely girl, Shalene. And I can certainly see where she got her good looks from. Both of you are truly blessed to have each other.
God bless, and Shalom!
I thought that was YOU on the right until I read your post. She looks just like you! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pics and cute kids! I hope Mercedes has a wonderful birthday. (she's beautiful btw) :)
Aww, thanks both of you! BTW you made my daughter's day, by sending your birthday wishes her way. I showed her the post yesterday, and first thing this morning, I said "Let's see if we got any comments." And both of yours were what she saw. Thank you for that. As for her looking like me, well, I've always known she looks like me, but I don't see it as much anymore- maybe because of all the years of days that I've seen her face everyday. Though when she was born, I said to myself, my goodness, she looks just like I did as a newborn. Except that the photos of me tend to be a bit on the sepia side because they are so old, you put them together and you would think they were the same baby. :) I'm rather pleased to know that she looks so much like me. My five year old looks a lot like Mercedes did at that age too, but I don't get the same "She looks just like you!" comments that I do with Mercedes. I was thrilled when not too long ago, someone honestly thought we were sisters. Thanks again both of you. I pray you both have blessed days.
ReplyDeleteShalene, I hope your daughter has a great Birthday today!! She is lucky to have a great mom like you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comments on my post yesterday. What you said really was touching! I count you as a friend, as well. I'm still praying for you and all that you went through a couple of months ago. You are such a model of strength.
Have a great day, friend!!
Happy Birthday Mercedes!
ReplyDeleteNice Job Proverbs32!
You have been blessed with a beautiful family. Your deep love for them shows!
Happy Birthday Mercedes. Sorry I'm behind the 8 ball. I'm sick. I didn't catch this post till now. I hope it's been very special & very blessed. Almost to Sweet 16 ;-).
