It was right after Thanksgiving while Daddy was on a pheasant hunting trip. We tried to celebrate when he got home that night but you were zonked out in bed. Then we tried the next night but you went out for treats with your team after practice, came home and went straight to bed (and fell sound asleep). Finally, on Friday we told you to "wait up" for us. Billy had taekwondo and Jimmy's jazz band was playing at the Depot. You managed to stay up for us but when we tried to celebrate, you shrugged, headed to your room and fell asleep (I will say, you've gotten more sleep this week than you have had in years and I think thats really good but ... are you about to hit another growth spurt or something?!)
You did manage to eat the pie we got for breakfast and maybe we'll attempt to celebrate again during Sunday supper.
But, whether we actually get to celebrate with you or not, we can still celebrate YOU!
You are funny, clever, strong, determined, single minded, confident, gorgeous, a good friend and extremely creative. We can not imagine our lives without you. When are you are in a good mood, there is honestly no one more fun in the whole world. I love the friendship that is starting to form with your brothers and I'm excited to see what live has in store for you. Whatever you put your mind to, I have no doubt that you'll succeed.
We can also be so grateful for your birth family and foster family. I am sure that they think of you every day and wish that they could see the fierce woman you are turning into.
Kay, I love you. Even saying that doesnt seem like a good enough description of how I feel. You are my heart. I wish for you a brilliant future and the determination to make it happen for yourself.
Love Mom (& Dad!)
The cousins! Jimmy, Kara, Joey, Lola, Astrid, Georgia, you, Rece and Herbie. Billy is missing ;(
Remember that one time you treated me to a spa day?
