Fourteen and Driving

My girl is now 14.

My girl got a dwarf gerbil.

My girl earned her learner's permit.

My girl.
Is changing into a young woman.
Right.
Before.
My eyes.

My girl.
I love her.

(But I'm leaving most of the driver's training to her dad.
My heart is not ready for her to be this old.)

I still am in shock she is 14!!! I remember you telling us that you were pregnant. All us girls (your first babies) were so THRILLED!! She is a beauty!!

Wow, this just can't be! (On a totally unrelated side note - Eli admitted the other day that Brookie is very cool. Pretty big deal to consider a "sister" pretty cool.)
