Brielle I can hardly believe that ten years have passed since they placed you in my arms. I cried, and cried. You were a gift, the answer to my prayers. I had my precious little boy and then, at that moment - I was complete. I had my beautiful baby girl. God has blessed me with you.

You were the first person I ever met that looked like me. That meant more than you could ever understand in your ten little years. But you have become one of my very favorite people in the world.

I have watched you grow and change over the years, and I think you are amazing. I think you have gifts that you yourself are still unaware of. I think you march to the beat of your very own drum, and I admire that. I also think that your dreams are slowly coming true each day that passes as you become more in tuned with the horses and your riding capabilities. You are amazing to watch. I hope that every dream you have will come true.

I love you today and always. You are my angel, my baby, my little girl. But most of all, you’ll always be my twinkie.

Happy 10th Birthday Sweetheart!
