Dearest Mariah,
I am sitting in Durham and you are in the Dominican Republic. I think this was a similar situation 7 years ago today. You were coming into this world in Ukraine and we were in America. I can hardly believe you are 7 years old today oh how the time has flown by. I am so blessed to be your Mom. At seven years old you are one amazing girl and bring so much life and energy to our family. I had dreamed of a daughter who would be gentle, soft, girly, dainty and sweet but the reality is that you are not those things at all but you are beyond a shadow of a doubt outgoing, strong, independent, driven, a fashion diva that will conquer the world. I know that God put you in our life because you would be good for us and we would be good for you.What your birthday means to me is a blessing in so many ways you may not have grown in my tummy but you did grow in my heart. I am thankful to your birth mom for giving you a place to grow and for giving birth to you, I am thankful to the orphanage in Ukraine that took care of you for the first 22 months of your life. I am thankful to our great friends Nickolai, Liliya, Ira and so many others for all there help and support. Birthdays are so special in so many ways a time to celebrate the year ahead and a time to rejoice in the time you were born. I wish you a great DAY today and a year ahead that is full of much happiness.
Much Love,
Mom
