Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to my darling girl, Fiona.
My miracle baby, my gift from God, whose life was saved by my doctor before she was even born.
Beautiful and kind, and an amazing athlete who can kick you in the head.
My warrior woman, who wields the kamas, bo, and Japanese sword.
Thank you for your wacky sense of humor.
Thank you for spending your birthday serving the poorest of the poor.
I love it that you adore books as much as your father and me.
You are turning into an amazing young woman, and your Daddy and I are so very proud and happy to claim you as our own.

And happy birthday, too, to my big sister Betsy.
My protector, my confidante, my parenting mentor.
Thank you for being there with me at my side when Fiona was born. I am so glad you two share a birthday!
