Nine

My lovely niece (she who changed my name to TT) turns nine today. It seems like just yesterday that I witnessed her birth (although, that's probably because witnessing a birth is one of those images/experiences that you don't soon forget--it etches itself into your brain, so it is always a salient memory).

But, in those nine short years, she has turned into a beautiful, witty, mature, confident, caring, intelligent young lady, and I am so proud of her.

Happy Birthday, KK!
