Sweet Baby Girls

I wasn't blessed with having a baby girl of my own,
but I did get to have the sweetest little baby sister EVER!
Kara is almost 9 years younger than me
so I got to help feed,
bath,
nap,
and watchover her.
She was like my little doll.
I loved to dress her up
do her hair
and dance with her.
I knew what she liked to eat
how to put her down for a nap
and how to make a "special potion"
to get her to stop crying.
She was my mini me.
I loved her like my own baby girl. Now she is a beautiful woman
and
I look up to her.

She is my little sis
and
best friend too.

It is funny how these baby girls grow up
and slip away from us so quickly.
My sweet baby girl Kara just gave birth to her own sweet baby girl,
Ivy.
She too was perfect
and sweet
and slipped away from us too quickly.
This is what sweet baby girls do.
they grow up and make us proud.
Kara you are so brave
and pure
and loving.
You are made up of everything that makes a wonderful Mommy.
Thanks for letting us share Ivy with you,
even if it was just for a short time.
I love you my sweet baby sis!!!

Um... I think I'm crying. Yup.

I love you and Kara. Sisters are the greatest and you are right... that sweet baby Ivy is blessed to have Kara as her mommy... and Kara is blessed to have you as her big sis.

Love you!

Mi voi piangere. La vita non mi sembra giusto nei momenti come questi. Meno male, Dio sa TUTTO. Pregero per voi. TVB sorell
