Haifa is my second child and eldest daughter. When she was still in my tummy, I knew that she was going to be assertive, out-going, and "like fire". She is those things. And strong-willed. From quite early on, she could stand her ground with her older brother and even with adults as well. I think that assertiveness is a wonderful quality in a woman and am happy that she is that way. She is very beautiful and cute. I was worried when I was pregnant that I wouldn't be able to love her as much as my first born child (because I couldn't imagine feeling more love than I did for him) after she was born I was amazed to discover that I had even greater capacities for love. Haifa is smart, athletically gifted, very social, and very loving and affectionate. She loves to go out and see people and things. She loves to talk with people. I love seeing her everyday. She can bring a smile to my face no matter how difficult my day has been. She melts my heart with every glance of those big round eyes and shining smile. I thank God for this gift of love.
