She’s 14! Already?

Yesterday, Nelle turned 14.

Fourteen feels strange to say out loud. Somewhere between a child and a young woman. Old enough to roll her eyes at me sometimes, but still young enough to laugh at silly things and disappear into her own little world.

Time really does move in the strangest way. The days often feel long and chaotic. But then suddenly — your child is fourteen.

There is no way I can have a picture of her now! Enjoy the year 2017 🙂

I’m proud of who she is becoming. Kind, funny, creative, stubborn in her own way, thoughtful, and growing stronger every year.

Happy 14th birthday, I hope life stays soft with you, even when the world is not. I hope you always keep your curiosity, your laughter, and the things that make you uniquely you.

Hello Nelle! Happy, happy, happy late birthday to you all the long, long way from the land of kangaroos and koalas. Hope it will be a good year – hope some of the things you quietly and privately think about and hope for will come true . . . have a great summer and a good holiday when it turns up! Oh, give your Mom a hug for me too 🙂 !
