Oh, my Larien

When she is not tired from not napping and swimming for hours, and when she is not yelling "No Finwe" at the top of her lungs, and when she is not declaring "I don't want that" to all the world, I think she is the most perfect person in my life. She is the right mix of all out love, mischieviousness, and intelligence wrapped in one package. I've called her "Trouble" since she was six months of age. It is because I see much of me and my father in her.
