Dear Gilbert,
Last night I got so excited when I saw my little girl was peacefully asleep with you beside her once again.
Truth be told, it has been a while.
Gilbert, I have to tell it to you straight…
Our girl is growing up.
It is bittersweet, indeed.
I am not sure how the days when you were a part of our everyday seem like yesterday and yet so far away all at the same time.
Oh but Gilbert, she is turning into such a sweet and kind little girl.
You should be proud.
While it is becoming clear that the days of tea parties and tutus are soon numbered, I think we can look forward to the young lady she is becoming.
At least for now, we both can take a little comfort that she is still little enough to reach for you from time to time.
And, you can always know that Daddy and I have a special place in our hearts for you (and you and you and you and you).
