My little girl has been with me for four years. Since we have no official birthdate and she was guestimated at 3 years old on her adoption, this means my baby is 7.
A delinquent still I am sure, with a little bit of arthritis and a limpy leg from her accident, Lexy brings joy to me every day. Every day I smile at her and her adorable fiestiness, her predictable moods, and her loving gestures when I'm not well. She asks for little other than attention, food, laptime, cuddles, toys, beds, blankets...
ok maybe not so little!!
That being said, Lexy has been my mainstay, my focus during tough times and she shared her loved and space with me despite her own shyness and fears.
I feel sheepish too as Aunty Pav was the one who remembered today, it slipped my mind
with my own medical things going on so I am grateful to have been reminded. Lexy got a birthday card, a new blue ball and her favourite Aunty playing catch with her last night.
So
My sweet quiquinha, te amo. I hope the four years you have had with me are the best you've ever known. I hope we have many more healthy years together.
