Happy Happy Birthday Pink!

Nine years ago today, I made a HUGE change in my life.  I brought my sweet girl into this world.  I have never worried and dreamed so much for someone as I had with this little person before.  I was so excited and hopeful that this beautiful child would be healthy and strong.  She was not due for another 3 1/2 weeks and was a high risk pregnancy.

She was born and she was just PERFECT. 

Now of course she is not 6 lbs and there are no high risk factors to worry about.  There are other things to worry about.  For example, how to harness and guide a brain like hers.  How to nurture the creativity and curiosity that she has.  And how to protect and grow the mild and gentle soul that inhabits her being.

There are also things to celebrate--her wit, her smile, her thoughtfulness, and her strength of character.  God Bless my child on this day and all the days to come.

This is Pink the day before she turned nine years old!

I wish you the happiest birthday any girl could have.  I hope you have a GREAT new year and  I hope you will share many more with me.  God Bless You my miracle.  I LOVE YOU!
