My niece has turned sixteen. It is simple to say but so hard to comprehend. How did she get to be a young woman so fast? It seemed like just yesterday that I saw her for the first time under a heat lamp, in a box, as a premature infant in the hospital. She was so stinking tiny and fragile.
Now she is old enough to drive.
She is looking for a job.
She is growing up.
I still think of her as being that fragile newborn.
Mileena, you have big things ahead of you and I am proud of the woman you are becoming. You exuded beauty both inside and out when we did your birthday portrait session this year. You will shine in your sixteenth year!
