I have the great privilege to call this beautiful creature my daughter. After her birth I felt complete and looked forward to all of the Mother/Daughter days ahead.If you know me even a little bit,you know that I love to fix things...make them better than new! It's what I do and I love it. I take pride in my family and their surroundings, keeping them safe and happy and always with freshly painted walls. I have been faced with something that this Momma just cant fix. AS hard as I want to, I just cant. I have hugged her and told her that she is beautiful , powerful and amazing, and listened as she cried. I have sat along side of her and told her it will pass and that Our Heavenly Father has great things for her to do, wether it was standing alone at times or surrounded by people who truely love her. As I watched this sweet child face one of life's lessons, I witnessed such a precious moment. In fact the greatest gift was given to me. This precious child of God...my daughter. Although it breaks my heart that I cant fix hers, I have witnessed how strong and beautiful she really is. Thank you Lord for allowing me the privilege to be her Mom and receiving one of your greatest gifts.
