The Tweenie

This is my eldest,

She is in the delicate balance of change from child to teen. I am her father and so I am able to say the following.

She makes my heart sing, I love her without compromise. She is beautiful of heart, mind, body and soul. When she is asleep she still has the most delicate little rosebud pout that she filled my heart with on the day she was born.

I am so very proud of her and I am excited for her journey ahead in life. I will feel her sadness, smile at her happiness and always be there for her. I implore her to work hard now so that she can choose later and I will her to make her own choice just for herself. To always enjoy life and choose the exciting paths ahead, knowing that I will always be happy with her choices even if on occasions they may sometimes baffle me.

She is about to start her journey in secondary school and I can't wait for the excitement this will bring her, although I am sure I will worry myself silly about her many future suitors.

I am in wondrous awe as to how I can have produced such a delicate and beautiful thing.
