Eleven Eleven

Every year on this date, I pause to especially thank the Good Lord for the freedoms I enjoy in this world, for I am rarely unconscious of how blessed I am.

And for the past 13 years, I have also thanked him for the happy, healthy, darling girl he sent me, who turned me into a mother. A post can't possibly capture all that I feel about her, but a small peek at her life through pictures follows.

I just cannot believe how much Bunch looks like you! I see it in every picture...well, maybe not fresh out of the womb, but still....she's maturing into just as fine as a woman as you are!

What fun trip down memory lane! She is lovely on the outside and just as beautiful on the inside! I still remember that song she wrote and performed last summer...I really enjoyed it. She's such a talented girl and you guys have really helped her develop those talents.

Funfun!
