So today is my beautiful little girls birthday, yeah! She's 9, and not really little anymore. Before I go off on a tangent, let me just say Happy Birthday, rockstar! If you know my daughter you know she's no ordinary little girl. There will be no pink or purple at this party, she wants motorcycles and loud rock music, I think I can oblige. When I was pregnant with her I thought of all the girlie things we would do when she was older, she would have the cutest dresses (lol) and I would get to fix her hair all kinds of different ways. Instead those are the things we do when she is being punished for something. She does like to go shopping, which is pretty cool, we usually end up in the music section where she can find some headphones and rock out. I must say, even though it's completely different than what I had expected I wouldn't want any other little girl in the whole world. And not just because you always love what your kid turns out to be, but because life is full of surprises. When you are little and see your life unfolded in front of you it's awesome, right? When you get older and see what life has become, well that's up to you to decide if it's still awesome or not. But either way it's yours and you made all the choices that led up to that point. So why do we waste time lamenting all the ways we could have done things differently? Why not just enjoy what fate has thrown into our laps and make it our own? Too many people like to live in their regrets, in my humble opinion, this allows them to never move forward, it's the crutch they use to not have to accept responsibility for their lives. It's bullshit and sad all wrapped up in one. So to all you people out there, let me just say, come and meet my daughter, I mean it come and meet her. She is the coolest person you will ever know, and if I have anything to say about it she will never waste a moment of her time regretting the choices of her life. If I know her at all, she will be too busy living her awesome life no matter where it goes.
I only have one thing to say, I love you Genevieve Eden, you've given me more than I could have ever hoped for.
