Has it really been 13 years?






My first born will be 13 on Sunday. How can that be? Is it possible that 13 years have flown by in such a blur? I remember them placing her in my arms for the first time. It seems like yesterday I watched her take her first steps. I remember putting her on the bus the first day of school. I asked her if she was scared, she relpied "why would I be scared." She has always been so independent. No fear. She's grown into a wonderful young lady. She's loves to make people laugh, she wants to make everyone around her happy, but at the same time she knows her limits. She's a leader with a heart of gold. She makes me proud to be her mother. Her strength inspires me. I just can't believe the baby I used to rock to sleep has turned into a teenager. Where did the time go? Somedays she "hates" me, but she still comes to me to talk about her day. She tells me all the little things she and her friends say and do. That's not to say somedays I don't want to return her. She is a teenager. She's sassy and sweet from one minute to the next. She's probably too much like her mother for her own good. She's taken my good qualities and my bad. I love her. Happy Birthday Cianah! You are any mother's dream.
