Today is my little girl's second birthday!! My first and only, my favorite person in the whole world, my Maci Brielle. In a perfect world, I would be with her right now. Instead, I'm at work while she's with my mom. I just need to emote these feelings of pride and love as the seep from my very soul every time I think of her today. She is so smart, beautiful, funny and charismatic. She is the greatest thing I've ever helped to create. If I could ever do her justice with the written word, I would be satisfied as a writer. Every time I try I freeze up, though, because I just can't write from a place of happiness. I've always drawn from my pain when writing, and Maci is the opposite of that. One day, though, I would really love to give her something beautiful from her mama. She deserves that and so much more. It's just me and her against the world, after all.
