c_a, your replies always make me happy!

I cherrish every moment I spend with her. I wish it were possible for her to stay little forever, but I look forward to her growing up as well. I want to see her and love her throughout all of her life. From the age she is now, until her hair is grey(should I be able to live that long).

The adolescent years of your girl will be quite difficult, as they are with all adolescents, but they'll also be a lot of fun. As they get older, there's so much more you can do with them and talk with them about. They will understand things and be able to offer their opinions on them, and sometimes they can really surprise you with maturity and intelligence that you never realized they were capable of. You are a wonderful woman, and I'm sure your girl will turn out very well with someone so great raising her.
