Cue Stephen Stills (yes, I'm that old) and "love the one you're with"!

And of course you do--of course you cherish that wonderful little girl with all your heart, of course you embrace her uniqueness, of course you wouldn't change the essential her for anything in the world, of course you can help her find ways to grow and learn and stretch herself--and stretch yourself, too! Parenthood has pulled my heart and head into wild new shapes and sizes, as it does to every parent; it's a hard job, but that's OK. It's a great job--the best!--too.

Go out for an ice cream and have some fun with your sweet little one, who is her own wonderful, unique, precious self!

peace and love from that old hippie
