ABSTRACT
This is my gift to you, Noa, my seventeen-year-old, sweet, loving daughter. You are on the cusp of womanhood. As you ready yourself to soar, I am drawn to reflect on our life together and the lives it has produced: My life as a woman irrevocably changed by having you as my daughter, your life endowed with the blessings that only deep and everlasting love can birth.
