Two years ago today, I met someone who would become one of my favorite people. She didn’t speak to me at first. In fact, she cried at the sight of me. I shed a tear or two as well. But I think our mutual admiration was understood.
These days, we have pleasant conversations, make each other laugh often, dance together, play together and give each other big, loving hugs. (And occassionally truly frustrate one another.)
“She” is, of course, my daughter. My sweet little girl, who turns two today.
Born four weeks early, just like her older brother, her entrance into this world brought me a joy that only another parent can comprehend. Her laugh fuels me. Her smile strengthens me. Her hugs comfort me.
Happy birthday, Sweetheart.
