Happy Birthday Bella!!!!!

Today My Isabella Rose turns 8!!! I've been hearing the term "Old Soul" a lot lately, and if ever there was one, Miss Bella is it. It's hard to believe that this little person is only eight.

She speaks as if she has been here through all time. Her questions are not those that can be quickly or easily answered. You have to think about it for a while, and in turn if she is not satisfied with the answer , she will throw it back at you, or as she has done on numerous occasions, answer it herself.

Her heart is big, it holds love for all. It was Bella who came to me first after being told Emilia would most likely be born with Down Syndrome. It was her words that , wise beyond her years have stuck with me. She said, " We'll just love her".
And with those words, she moved on. The words "we'll just love her", were enough for her, and they became enough for all of us.

Bella is as wild as a thoroughbred, don't try to tame this one. She must have space to run free.
She is like the wind, at times unruly and strong, and then in a flash just a sweet gentle breeze.

And then she shows her age and is young and carefree, just a little girl, who loves to snuggle and play and needs family around her.

My sweet Bella, be happy today, embrace the age eight. This year will bring many happy moments for you.

You bring us much joy, Bella! Thank you for making us all so happy.

Thank you God for placing this complex yet incredibly sweet creature in our lives,who makes us laugh and cry and worry and at times pull our hair out, but who always makes us smile with such pride.

Happy, Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!!!!

P.S I love you more!!!
