When you were just a baby, everyone wanted to hold you.
The nurses in the hospital said you were one of the best babies in the ward, I know what they said was true.
Because when I got you home with me, you never cried, you slept all the time.
A mothers dream come true, your eyes how they shined.
That beautiful smile, one happy baby, that looked so fine.
In your years of being a child, you were always very independent.
And when it was time for school, you were happy, and off you went.
You never complained, except when your sister wanted to be with you.
You loved her dearly, but needed your space to.
As you both got older, you would fight a lot.
Being almost 3 years difference in ages, you needed to be with your own friends and lou with hers, that message, I got.
Later on in life I know you went through so much with your sister, but we both did.
I know sometimes it was hard and I asked a lot of you, being so torn inside, I hid.
I hid my emotions and I should have let them out.
I should have screamed or shout.
But raising the two of you was what my life was about.
I hope you understand that I love the two of you equally, because you both carry a part of me.
I know I don't tell you everyday how proud I am of you.
But I truly am, and I need you to know that whatever you become in life, I hope you succeed, through and through.
Because I love you..
