Today is the eve of my baby girl taking the next step in her life. I can’t believe we have been through daycare, Head-start, and the whole damn elementary school. My daughter has not only exceled at every single grade and competition that she has participated in, but she showed me how to love. I will tell anyone that my oldest saved my life. She gave me a reason to live. She gave me a reason to love again. She loves to read. She loves school. Just like me. But I will give credit where it is due, and I will admit that her empathy, her willingness to help, her eternal joy is all because of her paternal side. I cannot believe that I will be the parent of a kid in middle school. What in the hell? Where did the time go? I love my baby girl more than any words or sounds or pictures could explain. And I couldn’t be prouder to be her mother. Regardless of the hurdles life has thrown our way, she has remained positive. Her positivity reassured me that I could get us through this rough patch. She reminded me of my strength. She reminded me who I was capable of being. So not only am I celebrating my daughter reaching one of many milestones in her life, but I’m celebrating the bond, the love we have built. I am celebrating the fact that I was chosen to be her mother. Because that little girl is awesome amazing and is destined for greatness.
Congratulations, Diva
Don’t you ever take your foot off their necks.
I love you
Sincerely,
Mommy xo
