Dariya,
I can't imagine life before you came along,
You are the music to my dance and my song.
I am meant for you, and you are meant for me,
the one I love forevermore.
Undeniably.
I love you so...
Marianne Richmond
These words are in a book that my brother and sister in law had made for Dariya this Christmas. We read in nightly and the final page with these words couldn't be more true.
I can't remember life without Dariya. She has been with us now longer that she was at the orphanage. Our lives have been so blessed with the addition of her in our family. Celebrating her today is just the icing on the cake.
I still get tears in my eyes every Sunday afternoon when I watch her dance her heart out. She has come so far and continues to soar daily.
Dariya, we are so proud of you, we pray that your life always is blessed and that God's path is clearly laid before you.
Happiest birthday Dariya.
You wear 7 well!
xoxo,
Mom, Dad, Aidan & Alayna
