turning 2
december 26, 2005
it's hard to believe my child turns 2 today. i've had her since she was 4 months old. part of me feels melancholic as she gets another year older but another part of me relishes the fact that she's grown and learned so much in these past 20 months of her life with me. still, a sense of dread overwhelms me at times when i think that one day she will no longer be here with me. it's so hard to think about losing her especially since i got her when i had just lost the other one.
i wanted to get her a nice doggy cupcake or something like that but instead i boiled down some nice dark meat chicken for her and shredded it up. i originally wanted to cook her some chicken liver but the market was out of it. i obviously should have gone to an asian supermarket for that sort of thing.
she of course doesn't know it's her birthday. but at least i didn't have to work today and spent it with her just on my bed catching up on tivo and reading magazines. i think she's at her happiest when she's cuddled up alongside in bed with me.
happy 2nd birthday dear snowbie! [(^.^)]
