today is ANOTHER birday of my ex step daughter whom I miss sooo dearly.   If ever two hearts understood each other on a level where words were not needed.....it was she and I. 

12 today, she is the most amazing artist and will be someone to watch in the art world as an adult.......if life continues to support her art. 

My wish for her today - in absence of being able to hug her, spoil her rotten and kiss her nose that I love so much........

Is that she knows always - whether I"m in her life or not - that I believe in her - in everything that she does.   That in the moments where she asks tearfully "why does this crap have to happen to me?"....she remembers our conversation about how special she is...becuase life/god/the powers that be chose her to resolve these challenges - so she can share her learnings with others when they need to hear a success story........ and from someone who can communicate with compassiona and caring.

My birthday wish for this special not so little girl - is for her to find her voice and not be afraid to speak it, stand up for herself be it with words, actions or art.    That she knows how special she is, how loved she is and that regardless of things she may do right or wrong - I am always on her side....That she remembers that my guardian angels will help hers when she needs it......and she can always come and visit me in her dreams becuase she's in mine every night. 

Happy birthday special beauty.  May the world be kind to your special gentle heart.
