Dear Daughter,

You turned 2 this week, and words can't describe how much joy you bring to our family.  I want you to know that you are beautiful.  You are sweet, bright, spunky, sassy, passionate, and you are loved.  I pray that you will know that you are loved no matter what size you are, no matter if you win or lose, through tears and laughter, and even through imperfections.  True beauty is not measured by appearance, but by what's in your heart.  Don't fall for the world's definition of beauty, but set your heart on things above.  God created you, Gracelyn, unique and for a purpose -- use the years he gives you to bring glory to Him.  Happy Birthday.

I love you.
Mommy
