My baby girl turns 14 today...even though I’m not ready for it.
The cutest freckles in the world are across that nose, but
they are concealed by make-up. Her bright smile is now outlined in lipstick.
And her happy, bright eyes….framed in mascara.
These teenage years are bitter sweet. Time Slow Down.
I gave Brooke the option of a celebration or 14 days of gifts leading up to her 14th birthday. She chose the gifts. As the birthday grew closer, our 14 days somehow morphed into gifts and a celebration. Next year, there will be no options.
