My Girl

Thirteen year old girls have such a bad reputation for being emotional and rude and spiteful.

Yet I would have to say that my thirteen year old daughter is an absolute delight.  She anticipates what needs doing around the house and (almost) always assists willingly.  She does her homework without being asked and always works to the best of her ability.

She is as kind as kind can be to her youngest brother, playing with him and reading to him all the time.  She is knitting him a scarf in dark red yarn 'just because'.

I am so proud of the young woman that my girl is becoming.
