The past few months have been a whirlwind. We have gone through so much in order to buy a home. We have been looking for quite some time and we finally found our perfect home. The stress of not knowing if it was ours or not and everything that came with buying a house was enough to almost make me break. But I'm still here kiddo. I've realized a lot of things over the years and I know as the years pass, you will come to realizations yourself.
As you grow older, you grow a little bit wiser. I didn't want to rent an apartment forever. I wanted better for you. I wanted a backyard with a swing set, another dog, your own huge room, a neighborhood filled with friendly people and kids, a place for you to grow up in, a place I will never take away. Having you so young, I didn't know who I was or what I wanted. I don't really think many people do at that age. I knew with all of my heart that I wanted you though. I just didn't know what to do with my life. I made some poor choices but I also made some good ones and that is life baby. You're not always going to do what's right. No one gets it right the first time. Just keep going and realize that eventually you will be where you're meant to be. A very smart friend of mine told me just yesterday to trust the plan, not the pain. You are going to go through some heart aches in life but when you have so many people surrounding you who love you, you'll never feel alone.
This is our house! For you, for me, for Jamie and Molly and all our little animals. I am so grateful to be able to say that I own a home and I will work tirelessly every single day for the rest of my life to ensure that this is your home forever. Because you deserve that.
I wanted to let you know how proud I am of the little woman you are becoming. I cannot believe you are seven years old now. I know I always say this, but the time is flying. You are sweet, kind and loving. You are goofy, funny and unique. You are beautiful inside and out to your very core. I adore how much you love animals and how you talk to them and spend so much time with them. I look at you and I see myself and how I was when I was a little girl. You're a people pleaser. Even when people don't deserve it. You just want everyone to be happy. I do too. But sometimes, you're not always going to please everyone and you have to do what you think is right for you and what makes you happy. This is one of those things I have realized over the years.
So many amazing things are going to happen for you. You'll see. And I'll be right here cheering you on, supporting you, loving you and always doing right by you.
Love,
Mommy
