I’m nearly two months late in posting these photos of Kya’s birthday, but I wanted to share them anyway because even at seven years old, Kya is ever so lovely.

We special ordered her a tennis-ball cake, which we planned to share with Kya’s best friend during a small get-together with our neighbors. Turns out cake is Kya’s new favorite thing. Now whenever she finishes a meal, she looks up at me, ears perked as if to say, “Dessert now? Yes?” Pretty sure she gets that from me.

Happy birthday, beauty girl. I couldn’t ask for anything more than the companionship we share. You’ve kept seven years worth of secrets, dried seven years worth of tears, given seven years worth of kisses and you’ve loved me, wholeheartedly, no matter what. Every year on your birthday I’m reminded of all the lessons you’ve taught me and special moments we’ve shared that will stay with me as long as I live. You’ve managed to teach me more about love and friendship than some people learn in a lifetime — all in seven wonderful years.

The next seven years are going to be just as great. Love you.

Love,

Mama

P.S. I wish you could read.
