Enchanted.

Know you what it is to be a child?…
It is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief;
it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear,
it is to turn pumpkins into coaches,
and mice into horses,
lowness into loftiness,
and nothing into everything,
for each child has its fairy godmother in its soul.

– Francis Thompson

This child.  I adore her, with all I have.  Every single day, I breathe her in, I wrap her up in my hope, I find her burrowed a little deeper into my heart.  In the middle of the night, when her tiny hand nestles in mine, I hold her tight and thank the Universe that she is mine.

Dear, darling Ivy.
Happy Fourth Birthday.
Endless Love,  Mummy.
