Our souls have always been connected. Soul mates.
You, my daughter.
My ray of light.
My little angel.

Today you are two. Very few traces of your babyhood remain. There are no more diapers. Your crib is gone. Bottles and baby food have long been gone. You can tell me exactly what is on your mind and what you need.
Still. You are my baby. You will always be my baby. I will not mourn your babyhood. I am too busy soaking up the wonderfulness of you as you are right now. And I look forward to watching you grow and learning more about you each day.
Thank you, Grace, for being my daughter. I am so honored to have you in my life. I love you, my sweet girl.
Happy Birthday!

Wow, 2 years have passes so fast! What a sweet girl you have!
A big Happy Birthday to a beautiful little girl! Although I would never want to return to the days when my sweet little granddaughter was a snippet of two years (too many meltdowns, all kinds of communication issues and other issues) but there are occasional moments when I miss the innocence she held in her back then. Today, she's nearing the 8-year mark, gonna be in 2nd grade this year and there is little she doesn't think she knows and because of that, she's even more headstrong than ever before. But under all that, she's always going to be my baby girl just as her little brother is always gonna retain that spot as my little baby boy -unless or until my son maybe comes through and has some offspring of his own to change the grandchildren dynamics around here. My older grandson will be 14 come this Friday. He's now taller than me, also taller now than his mother too, just as beautiful -should probably say "Handsome" now, shouldn't I, as the day he came into my world and the status of being a grandparent totally blew me away! Aren't we all just completely blessed though to be so fortunate to have these children in our lives to watch, to love, nurture and then, turn 'em loose on society on a wing and a prayer that we've done right, taught them well?
Enjoy every moment you can with her, now and always. Soul mates are pretty darned hard to come by at times.
She is precious and I can see why you say you are soul mates because she is your "mini me"! :)
Happy Birthday to your darling Grace!
(of course this means my girl is so close to 2 also and it's truly hard to believe!!)
xoxo
She is doing so many big girl things already! I hope she had a wonderful birthday!
