Oh Emmy, how are you already 12 years old?! It seems like yesterday I was 12 days overdue patiently awaiting your arrival. I was SO EXCITED to be a mom and I've loved every day since.
This past year has been a true roller coaster. I have both loved every second I've spent with you but felt sad knowing how much you are missing out on. Fortunately, you have a few really good school friends and thank God for your gymnastics friends. But I don't forget for a second how many people are out there waiting and ready to meet you!
You are fearless, driven, strong and don't really give a shit what others think of you and I LOVE IT! I look at you and wish I was as carefree as you are, when I was younger. I am so impressed by how dedicated you are at school - you have maintained a 4.0 during COVID! And your school work has not been easy, I am embarrassed to say, I literally could not help you answer that math problem you had a question on. Your commitment to gymnastics all year but especially during COVID and after a broken finger really is inspiring. You are so brave! Much braver than I'd ever be. I get so nervous and excited watching, even during your "zoom meet"! I watched the whole 3 hours from my lap top :) And you are so creative with your art projects and ideas, you really are amazing in every way.
You set such a good example for your brothers on how to be kind, patient and inclusive. They are very lucky to have you, we all are! We love you so very much and hope you have a great 12th birthday!!
