celebrate my children
My precious Ruth Jillian 2 days ago

came bursting into the world eleven years ago yesterday, at 4:52 AM, in a raucous thunderstorm, nature foretelling her own. She is a spitfire, my Ruth, in the best possible way, strong and opinionated, all thunder and lightning. But she is also sweet and empathic, a nurturer extraordinaire.

We celebrated her, her past and her future, with homemade strawberry chocolate ice cream cake and an ipod and a trip to the movies, and far too many hugs and smiles to count. She is on the fence about growing up, but is doing so in practice despite herself, cautiously straddling womanhood.

It occurs to me that our children deserve celebration on a daily basis, not just on birthdays. Hence this goal.
