To Katie and Kelsey,
Although your birthdays are a little over a month apart I wanted to wish you both a Happy Birthday. I’m sorry I can’t be there for your special days but sometimes things don’t always work out as we planned them to. I wish more than anything that I could be there with you right now watching you try and blow out your trick candles, and seeing all of your new toys and dresses.
Even though I can't be there with you, there are a few things I want you two to remember; someday someone is going to break your heart and it’s going to be terrible, be there for each other, learn from it and rise above it, it will only make you stronger. Always, always, always stand up for what you believe in, even if you’re standing alone. And most importantly, when you love, love with everything you have, never hold anything back.
Throughout your life people you never expected to come and go, will come and some will go. And that’s okay. People come into your life for all different reasons and sometimes it’s a simple matter of timing. That’s the case with us, just because I’m not with you everyday does not mean I don’t love you, I love you both very much. And someday when the time is right and you’re both old enough, you can hopefully make the choice for yourself to come back into my life and to accept me into yours. Until that day comes just remember that you are both brilliant, beautiful, talented and kind and know that I am always right here with you. Happy Birthday girls.
