We are so glad it was you who popped out. We are already smitten by your beautiful blue eyes, your giggles and squeals, your day-dreamy stares, helpful nature and placidly stubborn ways.
May you grow into the beauty you have begun.
May joy outweigh sadness, laughter outweigh anger, health outweigh sickness and kindness outweigh indifference.
Our Dearest Madeline, may the Sun warm your skin and bleach your hair as you play.
May the Moon shine on your dreams and the Earth show you all the wonders She has to see.
May your friends be gloriously loyal and loving and just a little bit wicked.
May trees allow you to climb them and the oceans welcome you for a swim.
Live life long and full, our beautiful girl. May your warmth attract others to your side and your dreams inspire you and lead you.
As you grow old may you gaze at the stars and know that from them you were born and to them you will one day return.
But until that day, may your life be a feast, may you eat with your fingers and remember to taste everything!
All our Love,
Mum and Dad
