I had to snitch this picture from her mother, since we were not there for her birthday. I think it is the cutest picture of her ever. I love her disheveled hair and the missing tooth and the pure joy of her smile. I love the pj bottoms and the t-shirt falling off her shoulder. It captures the essence of this child perfectly. She is one funky and fun little girl. I love this girl.
It has been hard for us this year, not being with her for her birthday. We flew to Shanghai, China for her first birthday. I made a last minute trip to Bangkok, Thailand for her 2nd birthday. We made another trip to Bangkok for her 3rd birthday. We missed #4. We made another trip to Bangkok for #5 and had such fun at her Magician Birthday Party and traveling around Thailand together. So, missing another birthday has been hard. But, we do have these pictures and memories packed inside our hearts. We will treasure them all and look forward to another October in another year when God willing and the creeks don't rise, we will be able to once more travel across the seas to be there in person to celebrate the life of this beautiful little girl. We will be able to see her smile, giggle and laugh and simply enjoy all the things that make a birthday special. Until then, we offer prayers of thanksgiving for this little girl's life and how it is woven into ours. Blessings and much love across the miles sweet Sojo! Love you to the moon and back, Popo and Gong Gong.
