Finally, a daughter!
With our pair of sons, everyone knew
She was a dream come true!
Sweetness and light
Bound to bring us delight!
However, little did they know…
Boys, I knew…
But a girl… what would we do?
She was feisty and fun
She won our hearts, every one!

Author Note: Having grown up in the rough and tumble of life with three brothers, I wasn’t sure how a delicate girl would fare in our family. She thrived! She certainly brought us delight!

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

Haha - my parent tried a fourth time and got a girl at the end - me!! A tough and rough but sensitive one. Mom used to say boys are so much easier (was that because of me??😳)
This is wonderful, Angie, so filled with joy! Great entry to the challenge!
So wonderful, Angie! Such a special kind of love captured in this!
