Spending hours each day to pursue your passions and current interests.

Learning new skills and taking on new responsibilities while being given time to still be a child.

Designing and creating dolls. An interest you have not outgrown.

Researching fashion in a favored period of history.

Reading literature set in that time period. Studying under a master.

Teaching (and having the patience to do so) your siblings a new craft.

Growing up looks like ~ Freedom to be.
Just who you are. Becoming.

I love you Celine. Sharing this journey with you. Watching you grow into a young woman. Being your mother and getting to participate in this each and every day is the greatest privilege.

Where your journey takes you, I do not know. But I do know the joy is mine in watching it unfold.
