Half

We have known Meron for one half of a year today. It has been six months since Tewabech, a scared, quiet, sweet, meek little baby was placed in my arms in a crowded sitting room in Ethiopia. I can't believe how quickly time has passed. I can't believe how much she has grown. I can't believe how much I can't live without her.

Here are some things we have learned about Meron in the last 6 months.



Meron is:

Nothing like the little girl we first met who was too scared to show her real personality

Strong

Passionate in her likes and dislikes

Beautiful

Funny

A tease

A walking ray of sunshine

Crazy smart

Even crazier willful

Sassy

Focused

Driven

A girl who loves to shock me (well, it is mostly mock shock on my part, but I don't think she knows that...)

BUSY

Loving

Kind

Giving

Nurturing

Happiest if she is the center of attention and perplexed if she isn't

Stubborn

A delight

Half of my heart (maybe 3/4)

My daughter



We love you so much Meron Tewabech. We are so glad that you are our daughter.

Love,

Mama
