Happy 11th Birthday ...

I don't just think of you on your birthday, I think of you every day. Like my shadow, you are always there. No one can experience having a beautiful baby girl and then having to let them fly - and it not being with them always. It is a privilege to be there for a birth, it is an honor to be there for a death.

Death isn't the end, if you are faithful, you know there is much more to life then the struggle we have here.

I see you in the sunshine, I hear you in a child's laugh, I feel you as a breeze caresses my face. A spirit like yours could never be contained. And I silently remember.

You are always my Friendly Shadow, many don't notice but I always know you are there.

Happy 11th Birthday Cecilia. I love you to the moon and back.
