12 years ago today…..

I was begging my doctor not to send me home after four days of failed induction and to let me have a c-section. I should have known then that my firstborn was not going to do things the same as other children…..

Today is the birthday of my daughter, Hannah. She is so many things, funny, brilliant, beautiful, imaginative, outspoken, caring and most of all unique. She is so confident and sure of herself…that is a rarity at her age. She isn’t a follower, she is a trailblazer. She has always walked to her own beat. I so admire that about her. I am 20 years older, yes I was a young mom, and I don’t have a tenth of her poise. I know everyone thinks that their child is something special (and they are) but I feel like Hannah has made me someone who is much better than I ever expected to be. I am not going to go on and on because she would be embarrassed, so I will just say that she is spectacular and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best daughter anyone could ever have.

I love you, HB.

Beautiful : ) She is an amazing young lady. I love seeing you two together and imagining what Mady and I will be like in the future….maybe sharing dessert at Red Lobster.
