Happy belated birthday to my Mia! I’m still trying to figure out where the last 11 years went! From preschool to elementary school to dance recitals and softball games, you’re now preparing to enter middle school in less than two weeks, and I’m pinching myself! You are maybe one of the most mature pre-teens I know. You’re smart, an incredible big sister, a wonderful daughter and more. You’re empathetic, caring, and a good friend. Your fifth grade year challenged you in ways that I didn’t anticipate, but you came through stronger and smarter. I pray that you remember to stay true to yourself as you enter this new phase of your life. It’s gonna get wild but I’m here for you always. Love you so much and am so proud of you! XO, Mom
