"Naming My Daughter," after Patricia Fargnoli
The one almost born on the ferry
The one who was really late, and then came really fast
Born while her dad ran out for a hamburger
Only child of an only child
Karin named for no one
Jeaninne named for mom's best friend
One who knew the names of all her medicines at a young age
She who made monthly trips to the ER
Story lover and early reader
"Pobody's Nerfect" softball team player
Token archaeology kid
Flute player and flag dancer
Merit award recipient
Affordable housing advocate
Passionate standard bearer for inclusivity
Calligrapher and costumer
Loving daughter, wife and mother
House fixer
Problem solver
Much loved by husband and children
Where did she come from, this daughter? What magic
came together to produce such a joy?
Better than a combination of the genes who made her
Pride of her mother's heart
