My sweet first and only bio-granddaughter. My sweet angel who is now 18 years old. I cannot quite believe it let alone accept it. My sweet little model who every photographer wanted a shot of. My gift from God literally. I discovered her little life was beginning the very same week I learned my mother’s was ending. My merciful God knew that to send me this angel would help lessen the pain. And she did. I lost my mom in August and my Sweetpea was born in early Spring.
She’s just a beautiful baby. She’s my heart, she’s my love. She’s my baby even at eighteen years of age, just as she was at eighteen months.
My baby girl turns 18 in just a little over a month–December 28. I am a little sad I am not going to be with her on the day she becomes her own person–at least legally because she has been her own woman since the moment she arrived. I understand!
Congrats on your little girl’s soon to be 18th birthday. I simply adore how you expressed your daughter’s independence. Watching my grand daughter growing in to the delightful young women she’s become has been a satisfying experience. Nurturing her independence, her creativity and the energy she creates when she walks in to a room has been one of the most humble experiences of my life.
