I wish I could keep myself from saying it, but I can’t.
Where has the time gone?
From that tiny wisp of a thing roughly the size of a beanie baby…
… to the big blue eyes and almost no baby fat…
… to the preschooler who found a workaround for walking …
… to the big girl who was oh-so-close to a life-changing surgery that would help her finally take independent steps…
… to the fashionista who (Bless her heart!) had not a whiff of fashion sense …
… to the preschooler who finally (finally!) could do so many things her peers had been able to do for years…
… to the kindergartener who managed just fine without an aide, thankyouverymuch ….
… to the big girl who wanted to learn about baking (still working on that one!) …
… to the best big sister in the whole world…
… to the beautiful girl who took my breath away …
… and continues to do so with every passing year …
… to the grown up young lady who still, at least for a little while longer, isn’t embarrassed to be seen with her mom …
… to the tough, resilient, wonderful person she is today …
Twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye. When the next birthday rolls around, she’ll be a teenager.
