A Letter to Lizzie

Liz is the Star Student this week in her class. Being the Star Student entails, among other things, bringing in a favorite book, making a 'Me Poster', and a letter written by Mom and Dad. Below is the letter Brett and I wrote for Liz.




We brought you home on Thanksgiving night
Our Baby Girl to be thankful for
You slept and ate and cried a little
And made our hearts grow forever more  


You started to walk and stated to talk
And taught us patience and strength
You made us a Mom and a Dad
And better people at length


The years have passed, seven in all
And we’re amazed with how you’ve grown
There are some time outs and reminders now and then
But nothing out of the norm


We wish for you to not be defined
By your strengths or weaknesses
But persevere and follow your dreams
And show the world your uniqueness
