The goddess of growth.

This is my cousin Lauren, and I've called her the goddess of growth because she is one of the only people I have known from being a tiny baby through to being an adult. She was the first baby I ever held or interacted with. I don't see much of her, family gatherings are not a frequent thing and she lives at the other end of the country, but she has grown in to a beautiful well balanced person and I'm glad I got to witness that growth.
