Maddy was invited to a book club that recently was reading
Little Women. She was the only one there under 40! She likened the experience to hanging out with the yayas (she had just finished reading
The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood) which cracked me up. There are some parts I adore about my daughter growing older, like the conversation blossoming into the adult realm, but sometimes, when the light is just right, I see her with her hair in a pony tail on top of her head, squatting down to look at something in her stripey tights and purple suede books and think, ah, where did the time go? She is now a little woman after all.
I love Maddy for who she is, and who she's becoming, Adriana too, it's just hard to let go of where they are at this moment... How cool that Maddy is sharing Little Women with all those 'old' folk... good for her!!! Adriana & I started reading it, but it was a bit much for her, so we're waiting a little longer... Great card, love the depth... We're ready for those hugs....
