daddy's little girl

Sage turns 6 years old today, and I can't help but remember how I felt when I first saw her in the operating room, wrinkled and messy and absolutely gorgeous. Through the years she's grown into a fiercely intelligent young girl with a sense of humor and a love for stories. She brought a new kind of love into my heart (the likes of which people without kids cannot ever imagine), giving me a new role in life - that of a father.

She continues to amaze me, and through her eyes I experience wonder all over again.

Happy birthday, Sage!
