For Carrie, Bethany and Heather, my own three 'mirrors' ...

A little girl clops in mommy's heels, her dress, a floppy hat. The borrowed pearls she's chosen dangle halfway down her back. Her face a shining rainbow, ruby lips, cheeks tinted pink, blue splashes on both eyelids, powder snowflakes in the sink. She'll go twirling in a ballroom, a princess with her knight, or better still, be mommy out with daddy Friday night. In a child's imagination everything is crystal clear, yet the truth beneath the surface is revealed in mommy's mirror. That little girl is all grown up, clothes and shoes are now my size ... but the mirror of maturation now is my own daughters' eyes.

And I'm sure those eyes also hold a thankful appreciation for her mother. That little girl most likely still wants to grow up to be like her mom, no matter how old she gets.
