8 years now...

It seems another lifetime ago, a long way back...
This little sweet thing was a teeny tiny little sweet thing...

How does it happen? You grasp onto every smile, every word, every little nuance of that little person growing big but still so much of it slips away. I guess it is protection in a way, pulling us from the past into the future. Change is here. Always...
But what will likely not ever change no matter how much she grows, travels and spreads her wings is her beautiful integrity of character. I am daily humbled by the love, kindness and generosity of spirit that just f l o w s out of her. She is a beautiful soul inside and out and I feel so very blessed to be her mother. Eight is going to be SO great, AnaSofia.

 I am just going to do my best to keep up with you!
