5 years!!! How has it been 5 years since we held you for the first and last time and had to let you go? At 5 years old, you would be starting kindergarten soon, learning to read, talking up a storm, and just really showing us how wild and crazy life can be with a little girl. We really miss you a lot here. We love your brothers so much, but we always know you are missing from our little family. You will never be forgotten.

| This year, Daddy made you a yummy homemade pound cake for your birthday. We added fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a yummy strawberry shortcake. |
 |
| We lit your candle and sang you "Happy Birthday." A church friend brought us a beautiful delicate pink primrose azalea plant. |
 |
| Your big brothers and cousin made wishes for you and blew out your candle. |
 |
| A princess in the midst of lots of little princes. |
 |
| Your cake was very yummy. |
 |
| Your family loves you very much! |
 |
| We took you with us to the beach for your birthday. You would have so much fun playing at the beach with your brothers. |
I love these poems.
