Our youngest granddaughter turned 12 this last week and she is more young woman than child at this point. I keep this photo as my phone’s lock screen and I was thinking about how she is changing as she nears her teen years. So my page is about her and for her. The journaling is rather small so if you can’t read it it says: "This week we celebrated your 12th birthday, Kaylene. This is the last year of your childhood and I love the young woman that you are becoming. There are fewer signs of this little girl inside you. Don’t ever let her love and kindness escape you, though. That smile, your empathy and kindness, your love of Jesus and others can change the world."
