dearest jesus, thank you for my niece, Jayla. for her spunk and personality. for the joy and beauty and innocence that lies in her beautiful blue eyes. for her brilliant, gifted mind. for the silliness that has yet to be constrained and muted by this world and the grumpy adults, myself included, that seem to exist to prune the goofy, carefree spirits from children. i pray she is able to hold tight to being a child as long as she can.
happy 7th birthday the the world's most precious niece. you will never realize what a blessing you have been to this family. unanticipated, unexpected, yet such an unbelievable blessing. you are the closest thing i have to a daughter; the closest love i can feel for a child not of my own. the day you were born, the Lord opened up a cavity in my heart the size of your smile. i hate not being there to watch you grow up, but you will always be my precious Jayla-boo. i love you princess.
