august 8, 1996.

that was a good day.
really, that's what i remember thinking, afterwards. that night in the hospital.
it was a really good day.

you know, when you're having your first baby, it's all so unknown.
i just had no idea what was about to happen or how i was possibly going to get through it.
just no idea.

anyway. then there she was. and it just clicked. right. i can do this, after all.

you should see her now. well, you do. there she is.

and look at her.

so much me in her, especially in that third picture. when i saw that up on my screen the first time, it stopped me in my tracks.
something about her eyes in that one is just about what i see when i look in the mirror.

but of course, she ain't me. she's ALL her.

and she's awesome, and i love her more than she can possibly understand right now.

but that's ok. she will, some day.

for now, i'll just hang on as much as i can, glad to be along for the ride.

callie,
fifteen.
love.

xo,
