My Grace

Grace turned two today. We didn't do anything really, because we already had a small party for her and are taking her to Disneyland tomorrow.

I really looked at her today and just couldn't believe that she is already two years old.

I have some many hopes and dreams for this little girl. She really is my sunshine. I wish that I could take away any hurt or pain that she is going to experience. Sometimes I just want to lock her up in our home to shelter her from the world. I can't do that though. I know she is going to have challenges and sad moments. I know she will have her fair share of tears. I think as Mommies we just wish we could take all of the hard times for them.

I hope Grace is a good girl. I don't care is she is popular, pretty or smart. I get very tired of parents comparing their children and always having to be better than one another. I know I am not a perfect mother, I am far from it...  I just want her to be kind. I want her to be the kind of person that people want to be like. Not because they are so cool, or popular, but because she is a genuinely kind and caring soul. That is my wish for my daughter. A simple wish. Please Heavenly Father help my little girl to be a good, kind spirit. Please guide her to do the right. Please keep her healthy and safe from harm.  Please help people to be kind to her. Please help her to make it back to you one day. That is my prayer. My simple prayer for my first born, my angel, my Grace. 

Happy Birthday Darling.
