Today is the birthday of my niece, Guendalyn. I’m not sure how old she is, I would have to look it up in my date book at home, but I think she may be 9 years old today.<\/p>\n
I’ve never even met her and yet I think of her every year, especially because her birthday is two days before her daddy’s (my brother’s) birthday.<\/p>\n
