19 years today, graced with our Gracie
Day 1 determined to arrive feet first
ready to play soccer from the start!
Gracefully kneaded onto your head
our doctor creating a masterpiece of art
Your toddler days
Dad’s favorite memory of you and me
you a magnitude of will and personality
turning my ideal of grace on its head
(this time figuratively)
I held you to the heavens, befuddled
“You are not the Grace I thought you would be!”
Through the many days
through the many years of your life
I have been graced with witnessing
the vastness of your heart
and how much more you are
than I ever imagined from your start:
your strength and courage
your honesty and fairness and directness
your kindness and compassion
your ability to process emotions in time
your authenticity and self-empowerment
your sensitivity and connection and presence
your role modeling of the Divine Feminine
your love of others and firstly, of yourSelf
Yes, you are also our
attention junkie, and
inappropriate child...(aargh!)
But I know that all of these qualities are what make you
the magnificent manifestation
of GRACE that you are
Happy Blessed Love-filled Fun-filled Birthday Gracie!
I love love love you!
Mom
