A very special ONE

There aren't a whole lot of people to whom I can say, "I've known you all your life." (Imagine me saying that in my very best Granny voice.) Mirielle is one of those people.



Happy birthday to one of the most special and brave and musical little girls I have the great fortune of knowing.



And, congratulations to Justin and Em for not just surviving but also enjoying their first year of being parents. I am honored to know two people so committed to raising a child that is kind and responsible and funny and fabulous.
