Happy Birthday

Eight years ago Monday, I was shopping in the Nordstrom's lingerie section in Spokane when my water broke. I distinctly remember the exact moment and my excitement when I realized I was going to meet Claire soon. Now, eight years later, I'm sitting here feeling like a cliche because I just can't help wondering where the time went. She's eight. That's like a big kid age. She's finishing second grade and starting to care what she looks like when she leaves home in the mornings. She's grown into this amazingly sweet and sensitive child who has great artistic abilities and a lot of empathy and compassion for all creatures. I made this little letter "C" for her birthday because I love her and she thinks my art is cool.
