Her birthday wish was to be as pretty as Barbie – for once in her life, to feel good about herself and the way she looked.
But the BabyGirl was a perfectionist and she admitted that she would never be satisfied with her appearance until she looked in the mirror and saw a flawless image smiling back at her.
On her birthday, she found that the best present she received didn’t come wrapped in pretty paper with a big bow on it. It wasn’t a granted wish of impossible perfection. And it wasn’t a birthday cake with rich icing.
Instead, the best birthday present she received was a simple sentence stated to her by her Daddy:
“BabyGirl, you did it. And now Barbie is trying to look as pretty as you.”
In her Daddy’s gazing eyes she could see her image as he saw her, and she was truly perfect.
