To The One Who Made Me An Uncle

Dedicated in honor of the Bas Mitzvah of my dear niece Devorah Sarah Kriegsman

Twelve years ago,

you entered this world,

and changed

Everything!

You turned a Bride & Groom

into Mommy & Tatty;

A couple

into a family;

Proud Parents

into prouder Grandparents;

Brothers and Sisters

into eager Uncles and Aunts.

You touched lives

With your

Itty fingers

and huge

heart.

You grew from a baby

to a child

to a girl

and now

into a

proud

young

woman.

You have grown in ways

that have made everyone

near you glow with pride.

You are a

True

Bas Melech:

the King’s

beloved daughter;

on her pathway

to becoming the next Queen.

I don’t say it often,

Perhaps not even show it enough,

But I love you dearly,

My dear Devorah Sarah.

May you always

continue to be

True to yourself

and show the world

the power of a Princess.

I hope this special day

Brings you a step closer

to changing the world;

one beloved smile,

one heart filled hug,

at a time.

Keep growing,

Keep yearning,

Keep proving,

Keep bringing pride

the world that you changed

Twelve years ago.
