After one and two plus three came me, the bottom middle child. I sometimes wonder if I was that glimmer in daddy's eye or an oops moment. 4/5th's is an odd fraction.
Either way, I'm here representing me in my birth order.
Much has been written and studied about a first born child. Where do I stack up? I would hope those who study these sort of things could say "she can hold her own."
She is observant. She studies a situation and bases her decision after a lot of consideration.
She is strong. She sees pain and buffers it's impact.
She is smart. She works hard to tackle the unknown and apply it appropriately.
She is sensitive. A word can crumble her world.
She is loving. She's all in.
She is fair. Weighing all circumstances before making judgement.
She is compassionate. She will do anything for someone in need.
She is a friend, mom, neighbor, aunt, grandmother and sister.
She is me.
