Emma's Birthday

Dear Emma,

Happy birthday to my very special granddaughter. You are such a joy to me. I love to see your happy face and sparkly eyes. I love how you always give me a great big hug when you see me.

I have noticed so many good qualities in you:

You are kind. I notice how you notice other people and care about their feelings.

You have a great personality. I notice how you often have a happy smile on your face and something uplifting to say to those around you.

You are generous. I notice how you are quick to give to make those around you happy.

You are a loving sister. I notice how you know how to help Kate with a project or put Rachael to bed.

You are smart. I notice how you work hard to learn and find joy in school.

You are friendly. I notice how you easily find other people to be nice to and easily make friends.

You are beautiful. I notice how your loving spirit shines out through your eyes.

You are capable. I notice how you work hard to figure things out and apply yourself when something is difficult.

I hope you will always remember that you are deeply loved by your Grandma Baadsgaard and that you know what a precious daughter of God you are. As the oldest child in your family you will always be a leader showing your younger sisters the path to follow.

God loves you. Jesus Christ is your best friend. You are a treasure for everyone who knows you. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grandma Baadsgaard
