Dear Pumpkin,

Wow.  You're seven!  I can't imagine where the time went.  If I remember correctly, just yesterday you were in my arms nursing.  

Instead, you are such a fun-loving child.  This coming year is going to bring so much for you.  You'll receive two sacraments.  You'll be in the 2nd grade.  

You bring a lot of joy to this family and to this world.  You do everything with passion whether it be happy passion…or not.

You're the only sister that Brother teases.  It's really kind of cute even though you react with such vigor.  I almost don't want to stop him because it's so neuro-typical.  He loves you.  And, who wouldn't.  

I remember the day you were born.  I said Hail Marys throughout the entire c-section.  They had changed procedure so you were brought to me as soon as I was brought back into the recovery room from the OR.  We were together from the get-go.  

I miss that little baby, but oh, I am just loving who you are today.  

Happy birthday, sweet Pumpkin.  I love you!
