Abigail Grace, there absolutely aren't enough words in the dictionary that could adequately describe my love for you. I have spent the last 5 years of your life watching you grow into this amazingly spirited child. You blow me away with your kindness, love and unwavering ability to see the best in everyone. I have spent the majority of your life as a stay-at-home parent and have enjoyed every beautiful moment at home with you. In the very few moments I spent away from you, I delicately picked those who would watch over you. I placed people in your life who I believe are people I can trust with you. I have hand picked your friends, and mine, to be within your worthiness. However, the barrier that I have placed around you, at some point, has to come down. I have to allow you to meet new people. I have to give you the room that you need to grow into the person you will someday become. I have to allow you to make your own mistakes, and sometimes that means allowing you to fall down. I can't begin to describe to you how much this terrifies me. How much I wish I could keep you close always and never let anyone hurt you. I've seen the look on your face when someone is mean to you. I've always been able to step right in, dry all the tears and make it all better. As I send you into a world that is cruel, and unforgiving, surrounded by children who have been hurt and are sometimes hurtful, I just want you to know how amazing you are. You light up our lives with your smile and personality. You are uniquely beautiful. And I love you, beyond measure, beyond words. I will always be here, as your rock, as your cheerleader, as your friend and most importantly, as your Mother.
