My big girl just turned 19.
She is an amazing person, of course.
She has tons of perseverance, when she wants to do something she gets it done.
She has a fast fight or flight response to everything.
She has homeschooled for years - and she works on her own initiative!
She is learning her limitations, and how to get and accept help for them.
She is learning her strengths, and how to make them work for her.
She is fast, efficient, polite, and friendly.
She is the most amazing writer, writing stories and poetry all the time.
She loves anime, marvel heroes, forensics, and her cat - Castielle.
She has a great sense of humor, and can think outside the box. In fact, she rarely thinks inside the box - she sees things in such a different way from most people.
She is always sick, always tired, always worried, but keeps on keeping on.
She has a quirky sense of style, and always has. Until part way through Kindergarten, she purposely chose 2 different colors of socks and always wore her shoes and boots on the wrong feet. Her hair is always changing color and often has a funky cut. She wears comfortable clothes that are bright and don't match in the least.
When I told her we all have a toolbox of skills, gave the example of a hammer for big problems and screwdriver for small ones, then asked her what she thought her tools are - she replied, "I just have a rubber chicken!" She is so funny :)
She tries to take care of all of us.
She loves to create art, especially big swoopy colorful art. She loves to look at and collect art, especially finely detailed, fantastical, colorful art.
My first baby. I slept with her, carried her, comforted her 24/7. I try my hardest to fix my parenting mistakes, and she loves me for it.
She never wants to leave home, and no one wants her to go.
But when she is ready, we will be with her every step of the way.
I love her with all of my heart.
