My mom told me not too long ago that she used to quietly wish that her daughters weren’t so pretty. She thought maybe then she wouldn’t see so many boys around our house. Or hear about so many silly little teenage crushes. Or sympathize when our hearts were broken. There were 4 of us girls in the house. Poor lady! My girls are 8 years apart in age and so far we’ve been lucky to have such a level headed teenager the first time around. We are holding our breath for the second time around! Caitlyn is 16 and I have to say- she is beautiful. And how fitting is it that she looks just like my mom. The one who always worried about her own daughters now has a granddaughter that I know she worries about just as much. I think I’m a lot luckier, though, because my daughter is showing to be a lot stronger in both her faith and her convictions than I ever was. Thank God for that!
