She's grown up so much and it feels as if she was just born a couple of weeks ago, and I feel scared about that. I found this poem by Kayla R. Vandiver titled "Life Can Be Hard." This poem explains my fear of why I'm scared that Stassi is growing up.
"Why didn't they tell me how mean the world can be
Why didn't they tell me how it's suppose to work
If only I would have been thinking I wouldn't be grown?If only I would have been thinking I would have known?Life's not easy any way you go."
This line popped out at me while I was reading abecause this week has been hard on me. I've gone through some very hard family problems and it saddens me that when Stassi and my other nieces and nephew grow up, they'll have to go through all these problems that life throws at them too. I remember all the things that I thought I wouldn't do and notice how much I've changed since I was a child. I hope that my nieces and nephew will do better choices than I have. Even though I can't stop nieces and nephew from growing up and keeping them away from everything that life may throw at them. I can only teach them better and guide them through all their problems that they may encounter in the future.

She is so cute. I, too, worry about our youth not getting the opportunity to have that innocent kind of childhood that everyone should have. I have a feeling she'll be that much safer from all the world's problems because she has you.
