Happy Birthday My Beautiful Sarah

Uploaded: July 08, 2009

Description

It's so hard to believe your eight years old today. Never has time moved so slowly yet at such a rapid pace as the past eight years.
I turned around and you were 1.
I took a shower one day and you were 2.
I bought you Christmas presents one year and you were 3.
We went to the movies one night and you were 4.
I loaded you in the car one morning and you were 5.
I kissed you goodnight and then you were 6.
I kissed you good morning and then you were 7.
This morning I will hug, kiss and squeeze you because you are 8 and then I will cry because you are eight! We love you forever...which means way past eight! Happy Birthday Sarah Pooh!

Thank you Rolan. I just want to cry. The past eight years have gone by so fast and she looks so grown up now. She's turning into a beautiful young lady who, however, still believes she can take on her 14 year old brother..lol #7716658

Beautiful portrait Lauren!! I can so relate. My son went from a baby to a 14 year old at my height in the blink of an eye. Next year he'll probably be taller then me. Kind of odd when looking at his first shoes and how tiny they were. Hope your daughter had a fantastic birthday! #7720364

I know what you mean by how fast they grow up. I took my little girl to get her ears pierced today for her 11th birthday and she said "I feel so grown up now mum" so I know what you mean. This is a superb capture of your gorgeous daughter and a really moving dedication to her. It makes me feel emotional too. Where have the years gone? #7779426

What a lovely poem. How very sweet Sarah looks.
Brace yourself for tears of joy and mixed emotions for years to come, Lauren. My daughter is 30, my son 25...the feelings never change. :)
