I admit to getting a bit choked up when suddenly I saw her appear as she undoubtedly is now, but since I haven't seen her myself, in the flesh, since she looked much more like she did in the shots just before, I am in a sort of denial about it. It was a swirl of sadness and joy to see her, so tall, so poised, so much a young adult. And I suppose this is what it is to be thirteen. I hope the birthday is a beautiful one, and that her life as a teenager holds some of tenderness and thoughtfulness that fills this video.<br /><br />So much love to all of you on this very special day.<br />Hugs and kisses,<br />Rachel<br /><br />Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06866896795739700058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7866268423986107988.post-84784194655859135692012-10-06T09:14:42.243-07:002012-10-06T09:14:42.243-07:00Happy Happy Day Effie !
