Firstborn

Happy birthday, Abigail!

You were not just our firstborn, but the first niece and grandchild for everyone in the family. It's been so fun watching you grow up and embrace life to the fullest!

There's hardly been another girl who is as special as you! I hope you continue to chase your dreams.

You know this poem always reminds me of you. It's one of my favorites!

A poem to dream by:

Power by Carol Lynn Pearson

When she learned that she
Didn't have to plug into
Someone or something
Like a toaster into a wall

When she learned that she
Was a windmill and had only
To raise her arms
To catch the universal whisper
And turn
turn
turn
She moved

Oh, she moved
And her dance was a marvel.
