What a wonderful coincidence. Two of my favorite women in the world have consecutive birthdays…
She is my firstborn, she was the prettiest baby in the New York Hospital nursery with no competition. She grew up to be beautiful, curious, inquisitive and bilingual. By the time she was six she could easily detect and associate people and languages, and speak both English and Hebrew fluently without a shred of an accent. I wish I had spent more time with her in the last twelve years, but circumstances allowed us summer and winter vacations only and the occasional airport connection time together. Karen will turn eighteen tomorrow.
Happy birthday Karen, you’re beautiful, clever, ambitious, knowledgeable and opinionated. Your mother seems to have done a great job. I can’t believe it’s been eighteen years. From the entire family in Beijing - we love you and miss you. Wish you were here. See you soon!
