Schultz Party of Four

Five years.

She now has five whole years of life under her belt.

In five years she's gained size and strength and memories and knowledge and a little sadness and a few scars.

I look back and think - Five years ago this same night I lay in a hospital bed laboring through hours of painful but rewarding contractions.

I look forward and hope - God willing five years from now she will have gained more size and strength and memories and knowledge.

Five years. Sigh.
