Except she’ll always be my baby girl. Look at this photo I’m almost positive was taken last week!

I may be off on the date. Anyway, Little Miss turns 14 today. She’s not a child. She’s not yet a full-fledged adult with all the rights and privileges thereof, but she’s well on her way. She’s an apprentice adult, learning under our guidance, but assuming more and more responsibility daily.

She’s learned to take initiative for her own interests. She orders her day and meets her deadlines, with minimal oversight from us. Yes, she still has much to learn before she leaves our home in as little as four short years *gulp*, but she’s quite capable of gaining that knowledge.

That person that we got glimpses and promises of as a child is coming into sharp relief.

Frankly, all these changes are probably much harder for me than for her. She’s become a young lady with such grace; it’s wonderful to watch. I’m the one who has to force myself to loosen my grip and let her take control. It’s not easy, but nothing worth doing is.

Happy birthday, Little Miss. What a gift you are.
