Dear Claire,

Time flies. For me, it feels like the speed of light. In the blink of an eye you grew. Every moment seems like a blur. Every hug, kiss, smile etched into my heart.

I am amazed at the things you've already accomplished in your life.

I am amazed at the wisdom and light in your eyes.

I am amazed by  your selflessness.

I am amazed at how you love, wholeheartedly, freely, without expectations.

I am amazed by your pure innocence.

I am amazed at your ability to make people smile and laugh.

I am amazed at how fast you learn and with enthusiasm.

I am amazed at how well you listen and understand.

I am amazed at how spiritually in tune you are.

I am amazed by your independence, always wanting to do things on your own.

I am amazed by how you light up a room by just being in it.

You are radiant.

You are amazing.

You are you.

Never change.

I cherish every hug, every kiss, every smile, every moment of every day.

I am privileged to be your mother. 

I am honored to call you my daughter.

I couldn't be more proud.
