Birthdays and Blessings

Today my oldest daughter turns 15. She is celebrating with the family who has raised her for the past 7 years. She said it has been a very good birthday and tomorrow she will have another party with friends. Wednesday, my youngest daughter turned 13. There is so much about her I don't know. I've only met her three times! But I still feel a connection to her that goes beyond just caring, but is delving into the realms of love. Communication with her is sparse and only comes through the older daughter. But I think she is trying to speak more English. We will call them soon to wish them a Happy Birthday and hear about the party. I hope their birthday package arrived, but I don't think it has yet or we would have gotten an email from them. So I just focus not on the birthdays we are missing but all of the one's yet to come! The sweet 16's, the milestone 18's and 21's; their first birthday as a new mommie, and the forever 29's! So though we've missed the kiddie birthdays, we have so many more yet to come...happy birthday my little one's!!!
