    My baby, Erin, turned 21 today.  And I remember the day that she was born as if it were yesterday.  It's crazy how much you can love a kid.  So much it feels like your heart is going to burst.  That's how I love Erin.  Of course, all of the girls, but today is Erin's day so I'll just talk about her.


    Erin had curly black hair and a little impish face.  She was wide-eyed and intelligent.  I had a really good labor with her.  Cathy, Desertrose, was with me as I labored and before she was born.  (thanks for holding my hair when I threw up, Cathy!) 


    Birth is a beautiful, mystical passage.  It made me proud and happy to be a woman.  It made me awestruck at what the human body is capable of.  And at that moment when I met that little being, who was nestled safely inside my body for so long, I felt like I had been transported to heaven.  True contentment.  A feeling of "this is what I was created for".


    Watching Erin grow up has been a privelege for both Jim and I.  She has always been sensitive, bright, and so very loving.  Her childhood seemed magical to me because she made it that way.  And she still plays and makes magic in the world around her.  Erin is one of those special people that you meet in life and say, "Wow!  What a neat person!" 


    Again I say that I'm blessed to have been entrusted with her care for a few short years.  Erin, you're my little Irish Angel.

    Once you've been hit, you have to hit 8 beautiful people. If you get hit again, you'll know you're really beautiful. If you break the chain, you'll still be beautiful in my eyes. Hit whoever you think is BEAUTIFUL!
