one two

12 years ago today, this amazing creature came into my life.

And it's been a constant roller coaster since that first day.

I can't believe how fast the time has passed...in the blink of an eye she will be off living her own life. But I can't think too closely on it or I will go crazy :) My heart can't bear it.

We are so proud of the wonderful young woman she is becoming. So much more confidant and strong than I was at twelve. More than I have ever been, actually. She radiates life and goodness and warmth, and I can't imagine any life without her.

Love you, baby girl!
