At the ripe young age of 19 you were who taught me what unconditional love was - what true love really was - what it felt like. I loved you from the moment I knew you were coming... I knew you were coming before I found out you were on your way - I felt it in my soul - you’ve always done that to me. I knew you were a girl from the start. The first name I picked was Madalynn - and it was the name I kept going back to because nothing else felt right. Marie - your middle name - after your grandmother and great grandmother - because I’d have it no other way. Genes of strong women... a strong name... for a tiny baby - that would grow into a strong young lady one day.
*
That day has come...
*
In a blink of an eye you’re all grown up - even though you always say “I’m like, TWO”. You’ve had lives ripped from you time and time again - yet you still choose to love. You learnt from MY mistakes and choose differently which makes me so proud. You’ve endured physical pain and set backs yet you’re the strongest person I know and you never give up. You’re surrounded by negativity in this world yet you choose joy. You’ve experienced many medical traumas, some still unknown, yet you have chosen a path in the medical field because you “want to take care of others and help others the way you’ve been helped and cared for" and you still push through your every day.
*
You’re beautiful beyond compare - and what makes you even more beautiful is you don’t even realize it.
*
You’re smarter than you’ll ever take credit for
*
You’re everything I never was
*
You’re everything I’ll never be
*
I always wanted you to be just like me... but I am so glad you're not... because you are better.
*
You will always be my saving grace

My Little peanut

I Love You
