We have 4 birthdays almost back-to-back in our small family. My oldest daughter's always marks the end of our "birthday season". Seven is an exciting age to me. I remember seven, and I really liked it. As my friend Kim said, at this age they're not even little kids anymore. They're just kids. I can see where growing up really begins to occur around this time. It's bittersweet.
Seven years ago you changed my entire life in a way that I could have never, ever imagined. You were the missing piece to my puzzle of life. You are one of the most unique, resourceful, witty and all-around fun people I have ever met. May you always be as passionate and determined as you are now, for it will take you as far as you choose to go in life. Although, you're already at the top in my book.
