My daughter is very complex. Her smile can light up a room and her frown can bring the clouds. She has a zeal for life and experiencing new things. She loves Kindergarten and loves to learn. The other day her teacher told me that she wished she could clone her, because she is so sweet, kind, and well-behaved. I kept wondering if she was talking about my Alyssa. The one I know who screams at her brother for breathing or the one who bursts into tears because she was told to clean her room. Then I think about the Alyssa who sings sweetly and hugs me around my neck and says, "I love you Mama." What can I say, she is my baby girl and I love her.
I love that Alyssa! She's complex, that's all. It's hard when you know you were meant for great things and you have to deal with an older brother. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, We love you. We miss you.
