my dear precious mally,
it has been 10 years since you came into my world. i remember laying in the bed and holding you for the first time wondering what the heck was i supposed to do next????? i remember loving the way i could finally say your name and know who it belonged to. now, here you are, sitting next to me and reading one of the books we got from the library today and you are ten years old. ten??! oi.
let me tell you something funny. even though you are not a small baby in my arms anymore and all these years have gained alot of parenting skills for this old mama of yours, there are moments where i find myself looking at you at a complete loss of what the heck am i supposed to do?! it is always a new thing...ah.
life works that way, girl.
who knows what the next ten years will bring? that question is, in a way, irrelevant because there is only now so it boils back down to this. you sitting next to me, living your life as you know it and i love you. i love the world so much more through loving you. that, my dear one, is what makes you beautiful.
your momcat

ohh...this was so touching. i hope you'll put this in a scrapbook someday and give it to her.
happy birthday beautiful babe! I remember you coming out to the world and you had a perfect head shape :) Look how perfect you still are, beautiful and soulful too.
don't ever change who you are for others because we need more sweeties like you.
