and suddenly she is eight…

Today my sweet little girl woke up as an eight year old.

She couldn’t wait to start her big day; she was up at 5.47am tiptoeing downstairs and making sure she won’t wake up anyone.  When I came downstairs,  she had a huge grin on her face and I could tell that she is really excited that today is her Birthday.

When the boys came too, we wished her a Happy Birthday and gave her her gifts. She always seems to be very shy on the outside but I knew that on the inside she was bursting with joy.

I still remember the day when she was born and the doctor handed her to me, just a few seconds after she took her first breath, how beautifully she smelled. A brand new bundle of joy, love and happiness.  Pure perfection. She supposed to sleep in the hospital bassinet but I kept her in my bed instead and we both knew that we will be inseparable. She still loves to climb into my lap and find the perfect spot for a cuddle. She fits there just right.

She has such a big heart.

She always thinks about others first. She would share her last skittle if someone asked her to do so.

She is very kind, sensitive and artistic.

She knows how to run fast and she enjoys it.

She is a huge animal lover.

She is the light of our lives.

Happy Birthday, my sweet little Katrin!

I love you from the bottom of my heart. To the moon and back a billion times.

Yours forever,
