I can't seem to hold her back.

As much as I try, I just can't seem to keep Berlin from getting older and bigger. I want her to always stay my little girl. But today, I came home from work only to be met with a huge smile. A huge smile that was one tooth less than the smile I'm used to seeing.

After I shared in her excitement for such a milestone I asked her to promise me she would never leave. She gave me a hug and promised that she would always live with me.

Even after she gets married.

Which, apparently, is going to happen when she's ten.
