14 years ago I became an Aunt for the first time when you were born. I can't believe you're 14, and I really can't believe we had a conversation on Facebook this morning. I love getting your text messages and emails too! Please excuse the cliche, but I can't believe how fast you're growing up!
I remember always wanting to hold you when you first born. I think I was scared at first, but eventually I just couldn't stand when other people had to take their turns feeding you and rocking you to sleep. You had the biggest smile and the best laugh; but you could also scream. Loud! I remember "sneaking" you into school with me for my senior year color day. I had taken you to the mall the day before and bought a red and white outfit. Of course, you had to approve of it, even at 2 1/2 years old.
I've loved watching you grow up, especially over the past few years. Hearing about your friends, the things you're learning in school, and your favorite music and books has been so much fun. I love that the older you get the more things we both like - Harry Potter, Taylor Swift, The Hunger Games!! I can't wait to take you to another concert someday.
Chyanne you are beautiful, funny, and spirited. I love that you have an opinion on things, and that you are brave enough to usually tell people what that opinion is. Stay brave. You have such a creative mind. I've loved hearing your ideas for fashion designs and stories. Don't stop creating. Chyanne, I love you so much and I wish I could have been with you today to celebrate the start of your 14th year. I know it's going to be amazing!!
Happy Birthday Chy!
- Love Auntie
