My beautiful wee girl. I can still remember holding you when you where born -how little you were. Today you are tall and strong, in that wonder space between little kid and pre-teen. One moment you are rolling your eyes and being sassy, the next you are seeking cuddles and asking to sleep in our bed ("Just one last time, you are getting too old" we say but we all know that it wont be the last time and we are all okay with that) You have a wonderful imagination, creating stories and characters and making me smile with how vivid they are. You still passionately believe in Sparkle the fairy, who started out as the tooth fairy but is now a bigger part of your colourful world. I hope you are not too cross when you find out it is me who writes the notes. It is just that it has given me so much joy sharing this magic with you, just like my Mum did with me. You are cautious my girl, nervous about new things, especially anything physical. But as we have seen before, it will all come ...
