This is a bragging post (but without words). Just one question: What did I do to end up with this amazing beautiful little person?
The question points to the fact that life is random, and I really can’t take credit for any of this. I have the great privilege to be entrusted with this gift.


What a beautiful post.
Well, ah, ahem, er, you see, well, (sweating here), what you did to end up with an child was, you know, um, ah, hell, you know what you did.
Just kidding. She is a joy to see in pictures, and I’m sure more than that live and in person.
You can, my dear, take some credit. And besides, we’re all given amazing people–it’s what happens after the giving that’s going to matter.
It’s the gift that keeps giving.
Told you so.
Dido, on what Marta said! Just keep those good thoughts going. Be fearless.
