You love others so well, thrilling in going out of your way to serve them. Whether it\u2019s bringing your almost two year old cousin downstairs to play Baby Shark music and dance with her because you love her squealing excitement or spending your allowance money on this to spoil your sisters, you have such a pure, giving heart. You think so much about others and pay attention to the little things that bless them. You are a lover of bike tricks (28 seconds with your hands off the handlebars in your record), all things Star Wars and Legos. How quickly you run to help and how blissfully you dance to ballet songs and sing at the top of your lungs in the car to the Phantom of the Opera. You are just my chill kid, happy and calm. Your hands are always open to others and your smile is an outpouring of your heart. You\u2019re quick to give bear hugs and the first to share your stuffed toys (even giving one of your four away to someone younger than you because it brings them joy). Sweet girl, you have the heart of Jesus in you and it\u2019s so amazing to watch you learn and grow in faith through your consistent reading of the Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precious, Abi, you are such a sweetheart and I\u2019m so blessed to be your mom. Never stop seeing the best in others, beautiful girl, and know that your mommy is applauding your every dream, every passion and every childhood delight. I couldn\u2019t love you more, beautiful Abi. Thank you for being such an amazing kid. Can\u2019t wait to see what year 10 has in store for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love you, Abinov. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/todayslegacy.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/06\/img_3678-1.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20649\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\ud83c\udf89Happy 10th Birthday, Love.\ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Abi turned 10 and I\u2019m still trying to wrap my mind around it.
