I've got sunshine on a cloudy day:
Today is my daughter's 13th birthday.
She doesn't read my website, because really, most of my material is beyond PG-13 and has ventured right into R and sometimes NC-17. At some point I'll show it to her, but I think that point will be sometime after she turns 37. God forbid she find out about the evil ways of her birthmother.
Her life began in a fairly tumultuous way, as any of you who have read the adoption saga already know. I lucked out with her adoptive parents, who are two of the most loving, centered, compassionate, open-minded, funny, and amazing people I've ever met. I was fortunate enough to be able to choose the people who would raise my daughter, and I couldn't have chosen two better people to do it. Because of them (and I'd like to think at least partially because of my kickass genes), she is a very well-adjusted, focused, funny, smart kid who continually amazes me with her strength, accomplishments, and passion for her goals. Of course, she's also tall and gorgeous, which I attribute solely to my bitchen genetics. Well, okay, her birth father probably had something to do with that, too.
I look back at my life 13 years ago and see a scared kid, unsure of what the future would bring, who made the biggest decision of her life. I couldn't be happier with the results.
Happy birthday, kiddo.
