She's graduating soon, and I cannot believe how fast time has gone. She's ready and excited, and so am I, but it's bittersweet.
Since the day she was born and wrapped her tiny fingers around mine, and I could see that her eyes were brown, not blue like her sister's nor green like mine, I knew she was a unique person.
This parenting journey has been the hardest, funniest, most terrifying, inspiring, holy mess…and there are a lot of parts I messed up that I wish I could do again.
I look back at it all, and could not be happier with this gift of a daughter, 'my Christmas present' I like to call her, since I went to the hospital in labor with her on Christmas Day, and she was born 10 minutes after midnight. She is my pride and joy, my middle child.
