Happy Birthday, Circusfaerie!
Twenty-two years ago today, after forty-five hours of labor, my daughter Circusfaerie was born. I had to have an emergency cesarean section, and the anesthetic knocked me out for ten hours. After all that work, I was the last one to meet her.
I tell her that story every year on her birthday, but not until after 10:38 am. It was always good fun when she was younger to tease her, while staring at the clock, that it wasn't her birthday just yet. But once it was, the celebrations were awesome.
We spent this year's here. It was as ridiculous as it sounds. There is no way to put into words all that she's meant to me and all that I hope for her, but do stop by her livejournal and wish her well.
Happy Birthday!!!
