When you were born, you were as perfect as can be. A few weeks in you started to get your hemangioma. At your two month check up we found out what it was. Many nights I have llayed awake fretting over how unfair it is that you have to have this mark on your face. Why couldn’t it have been on a leg or an arm like other childrens. We soon learned that this mark should go away by the time you are five. I was greatly relieved to find this out. But someof that relief was dashed as more and more people would rudely point at you and say the harsh words, “What is that?!” I politely explained for their benefit that you have a birhtmark and it will go away, but in my mind I was seething at them. Couldn’t they see how you became quiet as they jabbed their finger at you? You were such a shy little thing and finger pointing drew you away from people even more. I worried that these instances would hurt you on the inside.

Since those first few months you have grown into a beautiful little lady. Your birthmark has not gone away, but that hasn’t bothered you one bit. Slowly you are coming out of your shell and greeting more and more people with your smile that melts hearts. As I look upon this picture I realize I was foolish to ever think that your birthmark could cause you pain. You are too happy of a child to let it bother you. I know in my heart that your happiness will be forever flying just as depicted in this picture. For that reason this picture will always be my favorite one of you.
