Dr. Daughter
She’s a sucker for her grandpa’s mashed potatoes and her mama’s meatloaf
& I swear she came out of the womb talking and hasn’t stopped since.
This girl has been on the move since she arrived.
She has a plan.
She is determined.
She’s bolder and braver than I will ever be
& she will most definitely get to where she is destined to be.
I penned these words years ago, about Curly-haired, Child #3.
We call her Doctor, now
& today is her birthday.
YaY.
And as this 24 walks me through the many memories of raising her, her sister and brother …
lost in the warmth of been there, done that and reminding myself of the feelz of 33 years ago …
It was hot, humid, sticky and incredibly uncomfortable.
Or so remembers me.
I was very pregnant with Child #3 and I was agitated, irritated and HOT.
It was a Saturday.
I was at Mom and Dad’s with Child 1 & 2.
Husband was busy elsewhere, readying a house we were hoping to sell …
I can’t help but BIG HUG the universe, thank those lucky stars and
!! YaY !! Dr. Daughter !!
Enjoy your today.
