It seems like just yesterday I held you for the first time and you were all tiny and soft and full of sweet baby chub! (I searched for my all-time favorite photo of you &#8220;nake-y&#8221; on the towel with all of your baby rolls, but I couldn&#8217;t find it! I will find it though &#8211; and embarass you someday, I&#8217;m sure. Maybe for your 18th birthday!) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, I know we don&#8217;t get to see each other very much because of the (now even bigger) distance between us, but I want you to know how very proud I am to have you as a godchild. I think you are turning into a very independent, smart, and wonderful girl.  I love hearing stories of what you are &#8220;up to&#8221; and seeing pictures and just watching you grow, even if they are all from afar.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you the happiest day today and a great year full of suprises, learning and happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Love,<br \/>\nAunt Carrie<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2006\/12\/gert.jpg\" title=\"Gert\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2006\/12\/gert.jpg\" alt=\"Gert\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Shealyn, I cannot believe you are 7 years old today!
