Happy Birthday to you my little angel!

This time last year, I got to meet you for the first time and you changed my life forever!
I was nervous and terrified of becoming a mum! I always used to think I'd be too selfish for kids and I didn't know how I'd cope!
The moment I layed eyes on you, I felt something come over me! I fell in love and I know how blessed I am to have you every day of my life!

I hope you know how much you mean to me! You've been my comfort and joy in more ways than you'll ever know. You were a great comfort to me when I lost my beloved dad (I'm so grateful he got to know you in your first 5months!). You've been my saviour and made me realise I have a purpose in life!

To see how you've grown over the last 12mnths amazes me! Watching you learn new things every day and concquer all your milestones - to watch your budding personality develop - to see you smile for the first time! Your noises and giggles - to see you crawl for the first time, and now, learning to walk and talk!
You're my best friend and I look forward to the years ahead! With plenty of good times and bad, there'll be many challenges and achievements, lots of laughter and a few tears, but most of all, you'll have all the love and support in the world! Because I'm your mum! And you're my daughter!

It's true what they say, you never do know what love is until you've had a baby! And I love you with all my heart little angel!
(if only poppy could see you now!)
Happy 1st Birthday to my best friend! Valentine
