My little girl is going to be five

Gabriella Maria DelGado

I’ the decorations for her party I can’t help it It’s weird to think that five years ago I didn’t have her She came to be when I needed her the most, when I felt abandoned with my now husband in jail She came to me at the perfect time

Her grandfather was not thrilled that I was pregnant before Gio and I got married, but it didn’t rand baby He spentcare of me After Gabriella was born, he spent far too much time at our house He never wanted to miss a moment with her

We got ht after her birth,

It was the perfect day, just my baby, my husband, and me

“Ma on the bottom of my pants She’s three and her favorite word is maht next to her and can easily help it’s me she yells for Secretly, I love it

I love how irls

They take after Gio though, with their dark hair and warh, ocean blue

“Mama!” Gabriella yells lass door and into the back yard, spinning around in the grass as she takes in her party decor

She asked for a “sunflower theme” and I didn’t disappoint Our backyard was now filled with sunflowers, both real ones in vases and paper ones I stayed up creating

She si skips out to i is obsessed with Gabriella, she copies everything her big sister does

“Maotten into the habit of calling each other Mairls, I wonder if this is a weird thing all parents do or if it’s just us? I abandon the paper sunflower I’ a tear from my cheek

“She’s five” I croon

He s over s Are all !” I add “I’m afraid one day she won’t love me this much”
