Twelve today.
One year shy of a teenager.
Crazy, simply takes my breath away.
Twelve amazing years on this planet.
Twelve years of being you.
Unique, beautiful, full of energy and light.
The way your mind works is incredible.
You are creative, a thinker and tinkerer, a true engineer.
Your ability to solve problems and anticipate challenges and
roadblocks are something else. It's fun to watch your wheels turn.
You are always exploring, designing, executing.
You are passionate. You are thoughtful.
You love with all your heart.
You can be outlandish at times, irrational and inconsolable.
All part of you, all part of growing up.
You share, are open and honest.
All qualities I admire, and I pray continue.
You are comfortable in your own skin.
Brave and confident.
Wise beyond your years in so many ways
and still my little Carmen James in others.
You are happy, silly and never afraid to try new things.
I admire you and you make me whole.
My life and the lives around you are
enriched due to your presence.
Thank you for being you,
for being twelve and for being ours.
Love you little CJS.
