As I reflect on a weekend spent with all the amazing women in my family, I am amazed at how big my little niece Milana has gotten. This weekend we spent time together in Seattle for my sister Joanna's baby shower(Milana's mommy). She is expecting another precious little girl this month. And as I think about a new baby girl taking her place in our family it reminds me that Milana is no longer our baby! Don't get me wrong I am super excited and ready to love another little one but in a way it is a little sad knowing my Roo won't be the only niece that holds a place in my heart. She has grown into such an amazing "little women", the amount that girl understands blows my mind. She is such a social butterfly and is a ball of energy that rolls through life with a care free smile. This weekend we had a girls night out at a hotel in Seattle, we got a nice room and went swimming and just enjoyed each others company. As we were pulling into the hotel she said," OH I love this place, Im so excited to be spending time with all my Aunties and Gramma!".......she takes so much from everyday life! You just can't help but smile when your around her. This weekend was the last time that I will just be her Auntie Missa. And there are just a few things I want to say to my Roo even though I know she can't read this............
Dear Mila roo
The minute you were born you changed our family forever. Such a sweet little face looked up at us with love. You were never much for quiet time and always liked to be part of the action which in a big family you fit right in. You were so full of life and I have enjoyed watching you bloom into a "little women" . You say the funniest things that make happy tears form in my eyes I laugh so hard! Thanks for being such a blessing to me and making life seem so "new" everyday. I hope you know that you will not be forgotten when your little sister comes into the world, you will still be as special to me as before, if not even more.I look forward to seeing you as a big sister, as your mommy was to me. Me and your mommy were so close when I was little...she used to sing to me to stop me from crying.....it will be so special to see you carry on the big sister role. You will forever be my little Roo, and I will continuously love you!!
Love Auntie Missa
