Here I stand, arms akimbo, hands on hips, and asking Harrison if he cleaned his room. With a quick glance to my right, I see her. My joy and my love. The one everyone says looks just like me. Libby. Her arms akimbo, hands on hips, eyes wide, and lips slightly pursed. Her dream in life is to be a mommy and a teacher. Her eyes light up when she looks downstairs after her nap and sees me typing on my computer/waiting for her to wake up. I can't imagine the world without her.
Earlier this week, when someone told me that she looked just like me, I thought about her future. How I so desperately want to be a part of it. How thrilling it will be to see. She turns three this week, and once again I'll be reminded how quickly time slips by and my vow to cherish each moment healthily and happily.
To Libby on her 3rd birthday week,
Cheers,
Katy
