Big Girl on Campus

8/22/08

Once Upon A Time,

There was a beautiful baby















Who grew up in the space of her mama's heartbeat.





















The next thing her mama knew,




















She was the Big Girl on Campus* and I missed her all day.

When she got home from her first day, I met her on the way home (Daddy picked her up). She got out of the car and ran over to me and hugged me tightly, not only because she was glad to see me, but also because she had had such a great day that hugging tightly was a way to release all the pent-up excitement. It mended my poor mama's heart.

*Note navy socks with mint/lime pants. She is sooooo her daddy's daughter.
