I may be a bit biased (just a bit) but my first born child just happens to be all kinds of terrific. I think that all of us who know her are awfully lucky. She is one of a kind.
So for those of you who don't know Megan- here's just a few of the reasons she is so SO great:
1- She has the biggest heart ever, she is so full of love. She is cheerful and kind to everyone she meets, she is an incredibly loyal friend, and she genuinely cares about people. She mentions frequently someone that is going through a rough time, and she often comes up with ideas of something she could do to cheer them up or help them with their problem. Whenever she hears about any sort of charitable project she always wants to contribute everything she can.
2- She is fun, fun, FUN! A day with Meg means a day of being creative and silly. She is quick-witted and has us laughing all the time with one of her sarcastic remarks. She likes to come up with games and activities, especially for younger children.
3- She is a fabulous daughter. She listens and obeys, and rarely needs to be asked twice to do something. Sometimes she will just volunteer to help clean or prepare a meal. She'll pick out clothes for her baby sister to wear, and she'll distract her brother if he's having a hard time with one of his BG tests or insulin injections.
4- She is so talented! She doesn't have any one particular hobby that she loves, she just enjoys them all! She likes to dance, she likes to play sports, she sings, and has started learning the keys on the piano, she loves all kinds of art, and she is a whiz with technology. She knows Windows 7 better than a lot of adults and can navigate around like she's been doing it for years (did I mention she's 7?) She can work all kinds of cell phones, iPods and any other electronic gadgets. Since she was about 4 she has been helping babysitters work her daddy's TV/Receiver/DVD player/surround sound/etc. system. She is so, so smart. She tests a full grade ahead on her math skills and reading skills, and she's the youngest one in her class!
5- She's beautiful. I think I must tell her that about five times a day. It is so true. I don't just mean her outward appearance though. Of course her face IS beautiful (her daddy dreads her teenage years and the boys that will be knocking down our door) but her goodness, her sweet, loving spirit, her loving heart- all of those things that make her who she is, shine through her eyes and her goodness just radiates from her, her true beauty just takes my breath away.
This special girl has so much to give the world, and so far I think I've been the biggest recipient. What an angel.
