Happy 8th Birthday Kaitlyn

Look at my big girl. Hard to believe 8 years have gone by.

Kaitlyn, I have loved watching you come into your own. You have a certainty about yourself that simply amazes me. One that I, at 31, don't even think I have sometimes. You know who you are. You know what's difficult for you, but you are determined to overcome your challenges. You know what you excel at and you sore through them. You don't let anyone push you down. The sky is the limit for you with a determination like that.

So Kaitlyn keep trying your hardest in everything, especially the things that don't come easily to you. Don't you ever give up. I believe that you can do whatever you set your mind to. I am looking forward to what the next 8 years are going to bring for you. I am sure you'll have many wonderful surprises for me along the way. I love you always and forever.

Love,
Mommy
