Happy 12th Kiran!

 

Dearest Beti Kiran,

Happiest 12th birthday! Wow, what a year you have had Kiran! I am so proud of all the ways you have grown, all the challenging things you have tried, and all the things you have accomplished. You have continued in your dance and you have done so so well. You have tried ice-skating even though it’s hard and you have done well. You have picked back up piano and violin. You are doing so well in school and made the coolest cereal box book project for Michelle Obama‘s book Becoming. You are such a joy to be around. You are an awesome friend, great sister and cousin sister, trustworthy babysitter, an active caring person in our community, and a lovely daughter.  You are full of kindness, grace, you are a strong advocate, and truth teller, you feel deeply for those around you and yourself, you are hard-working and always ready to help, you always are up for a fun question game or board game or a walk, and I just love your radiant smile and warm hugs.

I am praying that this next year is a year full of continued joy, growing in Jesus and knowing what it means to walk in His ways.  I hope you feel the love of Jesus deeply and know that you are His child and that he loves so much and he cherishes you.

All my pyar, blessings, and prayers,

Mummy
