Robin 218/365
This is a picture of a picture. One of my favorite photos of my oldest. She
is almost 14 now. She is tall, beautiful, full of attitude, and thinks I'm
the dumbest thing ever born, but today I realized that she is really growing
up, and she is growing up to be such a strong young lady. She stepped up to
a situation that I would have ran from at her age. I still can't believe
this girl came into the world 6 weeks early and weight 5lbs. I was never
more scared of anything that I was of her the first time they brought her to
me. She is growing up so fast, but she is stronger than I have ever been.
I am so overwhelmed with pride and awe.

It's hard isn't it Robin. That sadness and pride mixed together?
I am beginning to understand why people love their grandchildren so Much - all of the emotion, but with some distance from the pain of parenting.
Love that kiddo. She will never take anyone's mess. Ever. Love that. You can tell her that Aunt Sarah thinks she's pretty badass (or y'know, something a little more appropriate).
i know that feeling well. :)
She was beautiful then and sounds beautiful now. Well done, Mom.
