A Note From Mom: THIRTEEN YEARS of Little Lucy!

 



Thirteen years ago, I was 41 weeks pregnant and you weren't showing any signs of coming out. The doctor decided to induce me and I was there all day working on getting you out, and by the end of the day, I was exhausted. They gave me an epidural; your heart rate was in question, so they rushed me to the OR and did an emergency c-section. I was so medicated I couldn't even hold you, but they laid you on me and I remember being so, so happy. You were perfect in every way... and you still are.



You take great selfies when you're actually supposed to be taking pictures of me. HAHA!


You are adventurous in every way, and I thank God for that quality in you. I hope you never lose it and I hope God uses it to bless you over and over again.



You are so incredibly smart, and your heart already has so much wisdom. I'm amazed by you. I'm so amazed at what God has created in you and I love seeing you mature and become the sophisticated little lady that you think you ought to be. I'm so proud of the standards you have set for yourself, and I pray God uses that wisdom to protect you as you grow.


You are so beautiful. Your smile is contagious and your little laugh is perfection. I used to just stare at your cute little face because I just couldn't believe that you were mine, and I still can't believe that God gifted me with such an incredible daughter.


I deeply love you. I'm so thankful that God brought you into my life and that we get to walk through life together. You will always be one of my best friends.



You are truly an incredible person, Babe. I'm just so proud of you... I can't say it enough.
Happy THIRTEENTH Birthday, little girl!
You are so deeply loved.
