Random follow #204 - @aadogsh13

On the 15th of November some years ago now a new life was brought into the world in a small town in the King Country of New Zealand.  in a very small hospital that was equipped for a few things a baby was born.  It was about 5pm on a Thursday afternoon.  After starting the birthing process somewhere around 4 in the morning 13 hours later @aadogsh13 made her way into the world.

With a head full of dark hair, nice light olive skin and tiny hands and feet I was the first person to hold her.  A brand new baby, a brand new (exhausted) mum and a brand new dad.  All together for the first time.  It was at this point that I said the first words after she born "We have a Maddison".

I can still remember the midwife, whose name was Taku, handling this brand new baby and me thinking "You're going to break her!" LOL.  A few days later she was released into our care as her parents.  and it is from that point onwards that we find ourselves here today.

Quite a bit has changed in the years between her birth and where we are now.  Watching @aadogsh13 grow and change over the years has been both special and rewarding as well.  Mornings spent in the cold at the netball courts, attending kindergarten concerts and graduations, starting school, learning to read, being known as locals at the library, riding bikes - all those memories and special moments spent together.

Now she is a beautiful young woman who has an incredible brain and a love for history.  She is a warm and caring friend who always watches out for her friends.  She has a very clear understanding of right and wrong and isn't afraid to hold others accountable to that when needed.  She is also tall, very tall and I wish she would stop growing sometimes!

So what are her tweets like?

• Well she LOVES Taylor Swift.  
• She is a history buff and especially like ancient Greece and mythology
• She enjoys reading
• She LOVES movies - especially Harry Potter
• She doesn't tweet all that often (cos all the cool kids are actually on Instagram)

Due to her being at the younger end of the spectrum her account is locked.  But she is wise enough to know who to follow and who to let follow.  So if you want to keep up to date with Swifty news or other bits and pieces then send a request (and I'll vet it first).  

Just for the record @aadogsh13 is my daughter and I love her.  And I am very proud of who she is and who she is becoming.  And if there were more of her on twitter then the world would be a better place.  

Love you Maddy.
