So far on this journey, becoming a mum is by far the best thing I have done. I was introduced to the realm of motherhood with the arrival of your brother, and while over the moon I knew my journey had just begun. It was with your arrival, my baby girl, that I knew our family was complete. Before you arrived I will admit that I had more than a few panicked thoughts. How would I make room in my heart for you? It sounds so silly now, but I thought my heart was at capacity with love for your brother. Then, the moment you entered the world I came into the secret knowledge that all parents of more than one child know. I wouldn’t need more room in my heart, for my heart instantly grew in size. Perfectly and equally filled with love for the two of you.
Ella. You are strong, tenacious, wilful, soft, sweet, stubborn, smart, mischievous, forgiving, funny and above all loving. You challenge me daily. You and your brother encourage me to not take life too seriously. To laugh. To dance. To sing. To say cheese!
I will endeavour to always speak words of positivity, to encourage confidence and strong self-esteem while making sure you have your feet on the ground. I hope my words of praise and support, balanced with advice and teachings of how hard things can be, will provide for you a strong foundation on which your inner voice can always come back to rely on.
I wish for you joy, laughter, good friends, healthy relationships, and stability with the occasional serendipitous moment to keep life fun! I love you with all my heart.
Happy Birthday 💕
