I’ve been putting off writing this particular blog post.
Because my girl is 18 today.
An adult.
But not an adult.
My baby.
My adult child.
I have approximately six months before she leaves for college.
I am so excited for her to start this new chapter in her life, but I cannot truly put into words how much I am going to miss her.
She is everything I had hoped she would be.
Kind, happy, smart, loving.
I love her for who she was, and I love her for who she is.
There’s too much I want to say, and for the first time, I am finding myself at a loss for words.
So, I’ll leave this video with you from April of 2010.
It may seem strange to share a video that I am in to celebrate her, but it’s what I’ve got.
She and I were going to perform in the talent show, that year. But she got sick a few days before and we cancelled. But she wanted to do our act anyway.
Were we great? Nope.
But when I listen and know how that voice has transformed into something powerful and strong over the years, and when I look and know how that girl has turned into something even more powerful and strong?
Oh, my heart.
Skip to 1:27. That’s where the magic starts.
I love this child, and she continues to be as sweet today as she was in this video which makes me cry every time I watch it.
Because this eager, precious little girl is 18 today, and I couldn’t be prouder.
Now I’m crying too. What a beautiful captured moment, and an amazing young woman. You done good, Amy and Rob.
