And Here We Are

Tomorrow my daughter will turn 5. I'm sitting here with my second daughter still inside me and I'm being a silly twit and getting weepy for the baby my first daughter was. I get glimers of the woman my Starlet will be and while I swell with pride my heart screams "STOP GROWING UP!"

But in all honesty despite the ups and downs of my separation and divorce, she is proving to be a wonderful little person. She is considerate and funny. She assimilates knowledge I don't even realize she's picking up. She is telling me how she will be an excellent big sister to her soon to be half sister. In short despite the pangs of regret at the baby that is slipping away I am proud of the person she is becoming.

Happy Birthday Starlet. I love you to the moon and back.
