Happy Birthday, Ms. Madeline!
Today is my niece’s 5th birthday! How did you get to be five years old already, kiddo? I remember my sister calling to tell me she was having a baby like it were yesterday! I remember going to visit you for the first time when you were only two weeks old – such a teensy tiny little thing – like it were an hour ago! I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you – all bundled up against the cold Toronto winter, you and your mom came to the airport to pick me up. Just a perfect little angel!
I asked your mom what you wanted for your birthday this year and she told me a typical Madeline story. She’d asked you “What do you want for your birthday?” and you’d answered, “I don’t need anything. Well, I’m almost out of paint.” ((Seriously people, what kind of kid doesn’t go crazy wanting presents?? A perfect angel, that’s who! I mean, I’m 32.92386712 years old and *I* act way more like a five year old for presents that my niece does!)) But I’m an aunt and aunts can’t get their nieces *nothing* for their birthday, so I hope you like what I sent you! ((For the curious, I settled on sending some money for her to use to adopt an animal of her choosing at Toronto Zoo. She loves the zoo!))
It’s hard for me to be so far away all the time, knowing I’m missing out on so much of your life, but I cherish all the times I do get to see you and I think of you every single day!
Happy 5th birthday, Kiddo!
Love, Aunt Beth
