Wow, it’s been 9 years already? I can’t believe so much time has gone by. And at the same time, it feels like she’s older than 9. I know that doesn’t make much sense but if you know me you know that’s how I can be sometimes.
I remember 9 years ago, not well, but I remember it. I was actually allowed to stay in the hospital (in Saskatoon) from Tues. night 9pm (when she was born) till Friday around noon. It was a nice stay. I got to relax with and without my new baby. They had a beautiful nursery with large bay windows overlooking the city, with rocking chairs too. She was a fantastic baby. Quiet, content. The weather that year was hot. I remember being in shorts weeks before she was born. Guess what the weather was like this weekend in Saskatchewan?—Snowy and cold! Yikes, at least it was a beautiful warm day here in Ontario. We had lost of visitors at the hospital and then afterwards at my parents house. Everyone fell in love with her right away.
And now, 9 years later, she’s still as sweet. She takes the good and the bad in stride. She’s smart, pretty and caring. Sometimes I have to remind myself and others that she’s only 9 cause most of the time she acts older than her years. She will always be my baby, no matter how old she is……..
