My youngest daughter recently turned 9 years old.
It was a very special day...but, not as special as she is!
You see, on this birthday she received something that she has been waiting for,
probably for her whole entire life.
She got her own brand-new shiny pink bicycle.
A bicycle that she picked out - all by herself!
A bicycle that (although is WAY too big) is PERFECT for her!
A bicycle that was NOT a hand-me-down or a garage sale purchase.
Nope, a thing all her own and the feeling was priceless!
So, as she rode off for the 1st time, I felt a tug at my heart and a smile on my face.
It was a special day, indeed!
One, I feel, she (and I) will NEVER forget.
