You have grown so much this year. I'm amazed each time that I look at you. So many changes have taken place. You now are wearing braces. Your old hairstyle is but a memory. Your height has increased. Your shoulders have gotten broad. Your childish ways are slowly slipping away and I realize that you will soon be out of this stage. I want to take advantage of every moment with you...every kiss...every "I love you"...every sweet expression. These moments will soon become far and few between. I am treasuring each one. I know it must be difficult to be the oldest, with so much expectation on your shoulders. I only hope that you can find safety and even sanctity in my loving embrace. I love you always....
