Cami and her love for her Mommy

So - tonight Cami sneaks in Vinny's office and gets on the computer. She works for 2-3 hours straight - and asks me not to peek. So I don't. Just a short while ago -she comes to me, and hands me a paper.


I just have to share it. It's so so sweet. She wrote 101 reasons she loved me. Why? Well - a few years back, I wrote one for Morgan, and then Vinny - and then when the girls came - I wrote one for them. I totally forgot about it. Until tonight. Until my sweet ten year old adopted daughter reminded me how much she loved me. How I laughed and cried at the same time, all the while holding her in my arms.

Cami - I love you. You are a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. I'm so glad that Heavenly Father whispered "pick her" even though I was scared of getting a six year old at the time. You are my sweet pea baby girl - and you fill me with such joy.

Here are Cami's reasons. Enjoy! ( I have not gone back and re-spelled anything).
