Today is my middle child's birthday.
She of an incredible softness, strength, intelligence.....
She of a strong will.
She of a heart that's been damaged.
She of big dreams and actively seeking them.
She is an amazing woman, sometimes so strong as to be intimidating and yet to know her and her heart you are drawn.
She exudes light and sometimes is completely unaware of how powerful it is.
She is beautiful yes and broken.
No more or less than another.
I am so grateful to have been her Mom and grateful of where He is taking her.
Today I thank God for the privilege of having had the opportunity to parent her and pray she follows where He leads. I am grateful to know her period....
Today I THANK GOD for her....will spend alot of the day IN THAT GRATITUDE.

I love this. I want this to be how I feel when my kids are grown.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARA! She is beautiful (a recent photo?) and looks like she is doing well. That reminds me, I need to post about Victoria's birthday- she is twelve tomorrow! Big hugs Becky! I miss you!
