Kayla,
I've had the pleasure of being your step-mom for 8 years and every minute has been a joy. I can hardly imagine loving any child more than I do you.
You are the sun on my cloudy day. I love your goofy faces and huge, silly laugh. Our pictures. Our jokes. Being able to look at you and know exactly what your thinking. Never a dull moment when the two of us are together.
You were a wonderful child and have grown into a beautiful young lady. You deserve all of the respect and love I feel for you. You truly are a gift from God! I pray for you every day and ask that God protect you, speak to you and make himself known to you.
Never forget, You are mine.
Happy Birthday!
A little birthday history for you...
