1. you were the greatest surprise of my life; i had no concept of how much you would change our existence. we smile more, we laugh more, we love more - because of you sweet girl.
2. it is bittersweet love - you are the baby - you always will be; but i see the little girl you are becoming take blossom and radiate with joy and love. and though i feel as if one of the most significant times in my life is coming to an end, i anticipate the next chapters - you and your sisters growing into little ladies, with the sweetest of happiness. happy birthday ari rose... i adore you.
