THIS LITTLE CREATURE BECOMES A TEENAGER ON FRIDAY . . . . ALL THE OLD CLICHES ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN GROWING UP IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE ARE ABSOLUTELY DEAD RIGHT . . . . IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I WAS HOLDING HER IN MY ARMS, FASCINATED AND AWESTRUCK AS SHE GUZZLED FROM HER BOTTLE . . . . SHE CONSTANTLY FORCES ME TO LOOK INWARDS AND ASSESS MYSELF AND MY FAILINGS AND SHORTCOMINGS . . . . I LOVE YOU LIZZIE.

I USED TO SING "TEMPTATION" BY NEW ORDER TO HER AS A LULLABY THROUGHOUT HER FIRST FOUR YEARS, THE LINES ABOUT BLUE EYES, GREEN EYES AND GREY EYES ALWAYS SEEMED AS THOUGH THEY'D BEEN WRITTEN ESPECIALLY FOR HER . . . . THEY STILL SHIFT COLOUR BETWEEN THE THREE, MERELY DEPENDING ON WHATEVER MAGICAL AND MYSTICAL COMBINATION OF HER COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE WEATHER ARE CONSPIRING TOGETHER AT THE TIME . . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR FRIDAY MY DARLING, BEAUTIFUL, OCCASIONALLY WILFUL DAUGHTER . . . . I'VE NEVER MET ANYONE QUITE LIKE YOU BEFORE . . . . ALL OF MY LOVE FOREVER AND ALWAYS, DADDY.
HEAVILY PIXELATED 'SELFIE' . . . . ARTISTICALLY AND CREATIVELY TALENTED
THE LULLABY IN QUESTION . . . . SOMETHINGS ARE SIMPLY MEANT TO BE

    When we have kids we are no longer just individuals, we become role models, which should make us better people.
