Girl in the Mirror

Today is my daughter's birthday! This has really made me think about the passage of time. When I first hung this mirror in her bedroom, she was only 10. I hung it at an adult height, and promised that she would grow. At first she could see her whole face only in tiptoes. But the years passed quickly, and soon she could also see all of her lovely neck and shoulders. Now, she is 20 and rarely home anymore.  The mirror is empty most of the time; the little girl is gone :(
