See that beautiful young woman? That's my first-born child, Madi Grayce and she's 17 today! Oh how I remember that day . . .
I was a second-year law student at S.I.U. and Thanksgiving Break had just begun a couple of days before when our princess entered our world - perfect and beautiful, of course! After many, many, many hours of labor and finally a c-section, along came our little girl. She's been a joy ever since (well, for the vast majority of the time :)).
Madi has grown up in the midst of my legal endeavors. Ya know, she attended law school in utero and on a few occasions in her own skin; that's why she's so smart and uses big words. LOL. When I started my first job with the Jefferson County State's Attorney's Office, she warmed the hearts of many at the courthouse with her Precious Moments eyes and cotton-top hair.
So, today, my little girl is 17. She continues to warm the hearts of all who know her and she makes one heck of a legal secretary!
You all have a wonderful night . . . and be on the lookout for Madi's mom carrying her petition to run for office.
