Today our youngest child is turning 11 years old. I can remember back when she was born. Our little bundle of joy came into the world a whopping 9 lbs 10 oz and at 22” she was not a dainty. I remember looking at her and thinking that both of our daughters looked identical at birth. Well for anyone who has not only seen our daughters but met them in person will know that the drugs that they were giving me (she was induced) were probably clouding my memory, because they are two completely different people, from their looks to their personalities. And both are loved beyond measure.
Ryann, you are such a loving, caring and independent child. You can always make me laugh, and brighten my day. I love watching you grow from my little stinker to the young “lady” that you are. Your personality is such a blessing, and gift (thank goodness you got my looks and your dad’s personality! wink wink). You are such a wonderful contribution to this world, and I have no doubt that you will make a difference and impact so many people. You, your brother and sister are our greatest accomplishments!
I can’t wait to see what you will do next. I look forward to each and every day. Your father and I are very proud to be your parents and call you our daughter.
Thank you and have a Wonderful Birthday!
