This Girl By Patti Milazzo
Presented by Amy Brinkman and Nancy Martinez
Journaling: “growing,
changing so quickly. I see these pictures and it hits me…
you’re not a baby anymore. In just this last year you’ve
become more confident, beautiful, independent, and contemplative
about the world around you. But then I’m reminded with a
look or gesture or your words that you are still My Little Girl.”
