Blue Eyes

They say all babies have blue eyes. I don't know how true that is, but her's were the bluest I have ever seen. She smiled even before her first breath, and when she finally cried, I did too. Time changes all of us, and her eyes are no longer blue, they are green. Not that I would know. I tell my young friends that the very best part of their life begins when they have children. Helping someone grow from child to adult is an amazing experience. There is no mountain they cannot climb, no sea they can not swim , no challenge they can not conquer. We learn more from our children than they learn from us. On this day in 1986, my first born arrived. Her eyes twinkled, and my heart melted. Since then she has broadened then English language (Define 'moose'). She is the most resilient person I have ever met. She is strong, confident, and knowledgeable. She is a fine athlete and a scholar. She is everything Nana knew she could be and all that Daddydoc hoped she would be. Happy birthday Jenn!
