About Layla

Layla thought that our first post on our new blog should be "About Us".  After reading about her below, I thought that I could say a few more things about Layla, and in so doing, I may be able to sneak in a few things about myself.

Layla's dad and Layla are competing for the "Most Amazing Person I Know" crown and sash.  Layla is 7 years old, born in 2003, when I was 25.   I was the first of my friends to bear children, and I can't help thinking that Layla inspired a number of parents to start reproducing earlier than planned.  You see, Layla is perfect.  She is physically beautiful, intellectually intelligent and empathetic to a fault.  Even her faults are perfect in their imperfection.

At times, my own self-worth is at risk when I entertain the idea that the ultimate reason for my existence just may be to raise Layla.  However, so that I don't get in trouble with my Presbyterian family-in-law by comparing myself to the Virgin Mary, and because I was raised to believe that we all have something special and unique to offer to the world, I can't help wondering that it was only through the birth of Layla that my own values and passions would start taking shape and color.
