Today L is officially 16! I remember sixteen years ago this morning Dr. F coming into the hospital room, tiny L tucked up next to me, demanding of the nurse: "Why isn't this child wearing a cap?!" The air conditioning was so cold. In an instant, a tiny cotton thimble was secured over her head.
She was born with her hands in prayer position; a saintly child still.
Now, she's off to school, and I'm off to yoga, at the end of which my hands will be in prayer position. . .

I thought today was the big day...Happy Birthday L!
I liked the "tiny cotton thimble". Happy birthday to L and happy yoga to you!
Happy day for all of you.
(i've still got LG's tiny cotton thimble somewhere, with a little bit of dark dark downy hair in it)
I wish again a plenty of happiness to L. And she has got the best beginning of her life, what loving parents can get, I know that.
How many times a week do you go to yoga? Do you exercise it at your home too?
Happy birthday day to your whole family.
A nice happy story. And even though she doesn't remember it herself, she will remember through your telling of it.
Happy Birthday to your daughter.
A sweet thimble full of love!
Happy b'day, Miss L!
