She looks like you. She acts like you. She reminds you of your younger self yet she is so unique. She is smarter than you were. She is stronger than you were. She is all the best parts of you and so very much more. And still more. She is herself. She is beautiful. She is your baby all grown up. She is an amazing young woman; and she is a gift.

“In my daughter’s eyes I am a hero. I am strong and wise. And I know no fear. But the truth is plain to see. She was sent to rescue me. I see who I want to be. In my daughter’s eyes.”
