Did I blink?...........


How are you nine?
You just keep getting farther, and farther away from being my baby.
My first baby.
Did you know I never even knew I wanted to be a mom until
they put you in my arms?
You gave me that gift.
You made me a mother.
And you made me love it.
It's the best things I've ever been.
I can't imagine being anything else.
You are so much a part of me.
I love the way you talk to me with your eyes.
I love the conversations we have.
I love that I can call your name and you come running because you know I can't do this alone.
I love your passion.
You are an old soul.
I love that about you.
You are knit so deep in my heart.
I think about the person I was before you came into this world and I smile, I think she thought she knew what happiness was but she had no idea how good it could get.
Happy 9th Birthday My Beautiful Girl.
