Happy Birthday Kate!


My girl is 24 today.
Yesterday she was 7
Last week she was brand new.
8 pounds, 13 ounces,
round and red
with a perfect 
rosebud mouth.

What happened
to all those years?

My best advice -
don’t blink!
Don’t even blink…


My amazing daughter Kathryn is 24 today.  The poem really says it all!  I have no idea where all those years went, but I am so proud of the young woman she has become.  PAD and NaPoWriMo day 14.

  2. Congratulations to Kate and to you. And that must be Otis with her, is it? They're both so cute, but Kate has the best smile (lovely dimples).
