Happy Nine
Today is Lucy’s ninth birthday. This little girl who almost didn’t get made because I was so terrified of having twins again, never ceases to amaze and delight us. Instead of writing about how great she is, I’ll just let a few of the writings I’ve published in the past speak for themselves.
Happy nine, Lucy Deeqsan.

p.s. It is also Ethiopian New Year and it is also the thirteenth year since the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Not forgotten.
