The first thing I ever noticed about you from the moment I laid eyes on you were your beautiful eyelashes. And today, when I hugged you good-bye, I looked at them again. The gateway to your brilliant mind. The trim on your bright, hazel eyes. What will they see today? What will they learn? Who will they meet?
Today feels like a milestone. A big one. For the next 17 plus years you will be in school. When you are 18 years old you may not be able to remember this day, but I promise you I will. I will remember how excited you were to make new friends. I will remember how ready you were to learn. I will remember how you will not keep your tongue in your mouth when you pose for a picture. I will remember that you told me last night, "Mommy, I want to learn about God". I will remember how you wouldn't get in the car until you had kissed both of your brothers good-bye. I will remember how brave you were to walk into a room full of people you didn't know. And I will remember the feeling in my gut that I get sometimes when I realize I'm experiencing something remarkable. When I stop and remember the incredible miracle that is your life and how extremely blessed I am to have you as my daughter.
