Happy 16th Birthday!




(Picture taken in Kirksville Missouri, Lexi was three)
I cannot believe that our Lexi Lou, is turning sixteen on Sunday. It doesn't seem possible that I have been her mom that many years. Lexi has been such a blessing in my life. She can always make me smile and fill me with joy. Thinking about Lexi is very close to being warmed by the sun. I cannot explain it, but she just fills me with warmth. From her very existence she has had the ability to bring joy to everyone around her. I have watched her grow to a beautiful person inside and out. She is kindness and goodness. Nichole turned me on to this song, and I cannot listen to it without crying. I still remember Lexi looking like the above picture. So many sweet memories and I know I will always have those. My life was forever changed for the better when this little girl came into my life. Happy 16th Lexi girl. I love you!

when i first watched this movie i was bawling like a baby when this song came on-all i could think of was you and lexi for some reason. maybe it was the girl's curly hair or her happy-go-lucky personality or maybe it's that meryl streep's mannerisms remind me of you-anyway i always think of the two of you when i hear this song!
