On Your Sixth Birthday

My darling Alison,

You were born in the caul on a blustery Tuesday morning at 4:47 A.M, six years ago.

Six whole years ago, you came into my life.



How I love you, my first born.  More than you could imagine.  More than you’ll ever know. 

The moment I saw your face, I changed forever.  

You held my heart in your hands, and there it remains.  There it will always be.



You made me a mother, and I am determined to make you as proud of me as I am of you.



I cherish everything about you.  Do you know how I memorize your face as you dream?

You are the sun and the moon and the stars, and every little thing in between.  

You are my everything; my student, my teacher.

 

For you, I wish all the things your little mind can imagine.



I love you, today and every day, my shining star.

All my love, forever…

Mama

After reading this letter, Alison wrote me a letter on my computer:

I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH SO DEEP IN MY HEART MOMMY. LOVE, ALISON.

What a beautiful letter, something she’ll hopefully read years from now and appreciate even more. Hope she has a wonderful birthday.

So sweet! I got a bit misty eyed. She looks so gorgeous, and fiesty, and OMG rock star! I’m a first-born, too, so I read it a bit personally as well. 😛

Love her letter back to you! Love the real guitar! ;D

*cue tears* (and not the sweet, pretty kind… but the ugly, snotty, weeping, catching my breath kind.)

this was beautiful. she is beautiful. you are beautiful.

What a lovely and touching exchange! I stumbled upon your blog while doing research on the caul for my website, “Caulbearers United – Lifting the Veil” (caulbearers.org).

Was your Alison born with the caul, or “en caul”, I wonder? She has the eyes of a true caulbearer — does she have special gifts?

I would like to invite you to my website to have a look around…please come by anytime!

Blessings,
Shannon Lee Wolf
