When I wonder where the time has gone these last ten years, all I need to do is look at you.
You… the girl who came a year before I thought I needed her and proved to me that my timing was off. You… the girl who still prefers to sleep with a part of her touching someone she loves. You…the girl with the new, crowded, growing in teeth, sun streaked hair, and tiny, lanky frame. You… the girl with the memory of an elephant. You… the girl who welcomed her sister into the world without a hint of jealousy, overflowing with excitement and joy. You…the girl who goes into every situation confident, happy and willing to try her best. You… the girl whose laugh is truly infectious. You… the girl who is not always the fastest, not usually the winner, but consistently possesses kindness and sportsmanship. You… the girl that lights up my everything, her father’s everything, and her sister’s everything, every minute of every day.
When I wonder where the time has gone these last ten years, all I need to do is look at every fiber, every hair, every freckle, every beautiful, amazing cell that makes up you.
This week I was invited to be a part of Amy Grace’s moving project entitled The Chorus. Please visit the site to see all of the other talents, and how each of them interpreted “time” in their own way. You won’t be disappointed.
