My girlie wrote this

Mygirl

I am from Here, the place I was born
From a mom and a dad
From toast or oatmeal for breakfast
From very cold winters
I am from Here
Where there's trees from everywhere
And sun all around
I am from vacations to Nevada
And one international flight
I am from Utah taking my mom away
And very grand birthdays
I am from Here

She wrote this a few weeks ago and it choked me up. God, I love that kid.

And Dan, too. Happy birthday, Baby. We'll have so much fun tonight. I promise. The dollar theater awaits…

    If every kid were as ‘lucky’ in life as Aiden…to be blessed with love adn security in life, as well as opportunities…well I have to believe this world would be a different place.
    What a poignant piece. She’s got some obvious literary potential going here. That’s so sweet.
    Happy birthday to your real life “rock star”, Dan. And a Happy early Birthday to you too, in case I miss it in another couple of days. Forty kinda flew by…huh?!

    Wow… that would choke me up, too. It’s amazing how talented kids can be. Adults think of skills being learned with lots of practice, but sometimes I think that it takes lots of practice to stay true to your own inborn skills.

    Wow, that is one incredibly talented little girl. Takes after her Momma! Both of your kids are so intelligent. I love reading about them! And it makes me look forward to witnessing my own growing up even more. I love that you post about your kids.

    Hi Cathy

    My name is Jenny and I work as a freelancer in the UK for craft magazines. I wonder if you could send me an email when you get a spare moment as I would like to speak to you about a possible magazine article? Thanks, Jenny

    She’s sure got her mother’s knack for writing!

    Happy Birthday to Dan, I can’t believe your bday’s are a day apart! Oh and happy early bday to you! I only remember it so well because we were born on the same day, same year! Are you feeling the same way I am about being “over forty” now? πŸ˜‰

    WOW! I am loving what your daughter wrote. What insight and reflection. Bet she didn’t get that from Chip. Although she looks like a great dog I think she sees things from a much simpler perspective!
    Love your blog!

    OK – where in Nevada? I have lived here all my life, and I love it as a place to live, but it’s not much of a vacation spot!

    Sweet poem! Sweet daughter!

    Cool poem. I taught English for a few years and I used to teach the “I am from” poem in conjunction with an awesome curriculum called Facing History & Ourselves. I couldn’t help but be excited that we’re doing some of the same things in Tennessee that you’re doing way up there & wondered just how small, small this world really is.
