today Georgia is 15

growing up as far back as I can remember I've been an oldest or older one, I am #5 of the many cousins on my mom's side. some of my greatest memories are with my Chesney/Collins family, especially in their Courtenay house.... I don't know that there was many Easter's I wasn't there! once I opened a door to a darkened room to find my little cousin Georgia playing quietly, enjoying her time alone - in the dark. and I remember marvelling at how many snakes, frogs, bugs and various other creatures she could gather. I also remember when she became a big sister and the offspring of Mouse were two of my favourite little humans in the whole wide world!! so today I honour and thank the universe for the life of my younger cousin Georgia! I love the person you are, the girl you have been and the woman you are becoming. thank you for always being yourself, I hope you always stay true to you and listen to your heart. I'm so very glad you were born :)

HAPPY 15 Gorgeous!!!!! MUA!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
