Happy Birthday Caitlin!

Happy Birthday Caitlin!  I can't believe that it has been 24 years since you entered the world and became the center of our universe.

We were beside ourselves when we found out that you were on the way.  After one miscarriage, we were anxious and worried.  I was on bed-rest for five of the nine months that I carried you.  We prayed so hard that I could carry my pregnancy to completion and deliver a healthy baby.  And we did.  God is so good.  You were and are such a blessing.

We were immediately smitten, and it took all of 5 seconds for you to wrap your daddy around your little finger.  You were his princess, and you still are.  You were so precious and we  took delight in everything that you did.  You were such a joy and your personality was larger than life.  You kept us on our toes and you kept us laughing.  We never had the least bit of trouble out of you.  If you ever did anything that maybe  you shouldn't have,  your conscience would get the better of you and you would immediately confess.

It has been such a privilege to be your Mama and to watch you grow into the godly young woman that you are today.  You've had my heart since the moment I met you.

Happy Birthday.  I love you so much.
