Dearest Mijo, OK..so what happened exactly? How did you become so old so quickly. I know you were born just the other day in all your newness and wonder. What an amazing gift you have been, every expression of hope, joy , surprise, despair dances across your beautiful face. We haven't even started to talk about your compassionate, dramatic, gentle spontaneous soul.
When you were 5 years old, you were starting to learn your letter. We were working on your letter C but you kept on writing your C backwards. Finally, after a seeing your backwards C i sat down and explained that the C if you wanted to write it correctly needed to point the other direction. I thought it was a matter of education, you just needed to know the right way of doing things. You looked at me and said, " No, I like my C's to point that direction".
'Well, Mijo, you may like them that way, but there is a rule about how C's are supposed to be written. You can't just change it, you aren't ruler of the universe".
Under her breath she said quietly, "Not yet".
I thought in that moment we were in for a long road ahead. It has been a road but not a long one. We can't imagine our family without you and your dramatic imaginations and consistent love.
We love all that you are and all that you are becoming. We are so proud of you and who you are choosing to be, especially since you have decided Who the Ruler of the universe it and that it isn't you. Dad and Mom
