The big day dawns. 6am and it's prezzies on the bed and The Birthday Badger bag spills it's treats. My girl loves her goodies, the silly toys, the fun gifts, the books and T shirt.
Memories hit me between the eyes, making them water, making me remember.
Time has flown by. What happened, where did it go?
My little girl and her old grannie. The generation gap, non existent between loving hearts.
My girl and her animals, he furry friends who mean so much.
So at home with nature. Finding beauty everywhere and watching with the keenest interest and an amazing imagination.
Sometimes the victor, triumphant and joyous!
With the ability to be alone, to enjoy her own world and share her dreams.
A calm delight, patience and sheer heartbreaking beauty.
Tawanda the wild child!
Fearless in the face of a shark (albeit a very small one).
A budding thesp? hmmm maybe not, but definitely an Abba fan,
A rider of wild and fantastic horses, as long as they stay on the carousel.
The bestest friend a ferret could wish for.
The colourful clown who can always make me laugh.
A friend, a pal.
No matter your age, you will always be my little girl, my best friend, my strength, my meaning, my life.
happy Birthday Imogen
I love you

Just where does the time go? Everyone says it…”it seems like only yesterday…” and there’s no way to slow time down. Please wish Idgy a happy birthday from her American pal…I totally spaced and was going to have something posted to her weeks ago! I’ll get it off today! She is a beautiful child – and you two are blessed to have each other – enjoy your special day! xo, Nan
