Well, you aren't a teenager any more! I was remembering that day 20 years ago when you were born. Your Mother had been in labor for a long time. We were told that the second time went faster than the first. It wasn't true. We had been at the hospital for a long time. Finally the delivery nurse said you were ready to come. Dr. Robinette pulled you out and said, "its a little sister!" I took you into the nursery like I did with Nikki. Once you were bathed, weighed, and wrapped up, they put you in a little bed. I stood there and watched you sleep quietly. I waited for a while watching you. The family had been waiting for you to come but once you were here and there were no problems, we all went somewhere for some sleep. The next day was hectic for me. I had been away from work and had to go in. Then the next day when I returned to pick you both up, the car broke down and I spent the morning at a garage. That wasn't how I wanted to spend that morning. Finally I got there and picked up you and your Mom. We drove home and I put you in a portable crib in our living room. Nikki was staying with Maw-maw and Paw-paw. For a while, I just sat there in the living room watching you sleep peacefully.
Now that day is 20 years in the past but it doesn't seem like that long. I mentioned to you the big difference in being 20 is how fast the next 10 years will fly. I remember turning 20 after what seemed like an eternity. Then suddenly I was 30. Most of the really wonderful things that happened to me occured during that decade of my life. It was a decade of changes.
