My oldest turned 17 today..
This is my oldest child, Nat. She was born 17 years ago today… in a small hospital in Perry, Iowa by Cesarean Section because even before birth she was a very stubborn child and had turned herself breech.
She weighed in at just over 7 lbs and had a shock of bright red hair.
Today she is a beautiful, talented young woman with an eye for fashion, a soul for music and a passion for everything she does that I hope never leaves her. Here she is wearing her new fedora, her new coat and holding her new ‘self proclaimed boyfriend’ “Benjamin”.
This is a wonderful photo of her. I remember so many stages of her life. The baby who could form words at 3 mo and delighted in freaking people out with that ability. The three year old who was so independent, could verbalize her desires better than children twice her age, and had a sense of self stronger than many adults I know…all the way up to the glorious young lady that she is today. I feel honored to know her. She has touched my life…my heart…my soul.
