MY BABY TURNED 22

How very fast the time has flown
The years seem such a whirl
Since you were just a tiny child
A precious baby girl.

How quickly you have blossomed
Through those tender childhood years
When every single day had moments
Full of joy and tears.

But all those nostalgic childhood days
Which have sped so swiftly by
Have seen you reach (13)(16)(18)(21)
All in the blinking of an eye.

So think about your future
Special things to see and do
New faces and new challenges
Just waiting there for you.

For your birthday is a milestone
And it marks another turn

How fast a year goes by. I remembered talking about her 21st and today it's already her 22nd.
She was happy to be home on her birthday after missing the actual date for the past few years.
Days earlier we had planned to do  her cake. This girl only wants a chocolate cake...if she was going to eat it.
I had planned for a 'pool of chocolate with piglets swimming' cake  with kitkat as side frosting but she insisted that she's not a 'pig' in any ways :/ hhmm

I finally get a nod with a 3D bear cake which I baked a day earlier.

Every year your Birthday makes us just a little sad because we know that you'll have grown up one more year, gone away from us a little more and would have made new friends to spend your time with.
