Happy Birthday, Charlotte

Two years ago today, on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, my daughter was born.  She was 6 weeks early, but she was strong and came out fighting.  She offered strength and beauty, mixed with some straight Southern sass, to a broken world in need of the hope that can only come when a child is born.  She hasn't stopped fighting, smiling, or learning since that day, and I pray she never will.  We need her.  I love you, Princess.
