Today my daughter and I headed out the door together to walk to a birthday party around the block. I took her little 6-year-old hand in mine and felt thankful, soaking in the sun and strolling together. She is my only girl. She is the pink among all the blue!
She looked up at me and said, “I like doing things with you, Mommy.”
I said, “I like doing things with you, too.” And after a pause I said, “I’m glad we have each other.”
She looked up at me, “We have to stick together, right?”
“Right, ” I answered. “Forever.”
She said, “Yep, forever.”
These kinds of moments mean so much to me. You see, my daughter was brought to me from around the globe. I stand and wonder at what an awesome gift she is to me, and I’m so thankful that she was part of the plan for my life!
Precious story – after ending up as a widowed mom at 28 with a 2 yr. old daughter – my daughter was then and is still a very special part of my life. I have always treasured every moment we have together and now she is a mom with her own 1 and 3 yr. old, I find it so wonderful she STILL feels the same.
ENJOY every minute of this awesome gift you have – whether she was born from under your heart or within it – she is your very special blessing for life! Enjoy!
