Letter to Audrey

Your birthday was this week.  Six years old.  I looked through photographs of you, choosing a selection for a birthday poster of you.  So many memories, confirming that time moves so fast. 
Right now your independence is shining through.  I am learning to let you follow your own mind some more. 
In two weeks time I will be sending you off to school in a uniform.  Yes, I think I will cry a little.  "Happy crying" you call it.  But maybe just a couple of tears as I acknowledge the moment.  xo
