Thirty-six years ago I was a twenty-one year old child about to
embark on a journey about which I knew nothing. I had only the examples
set by my parents which were stellar by all accounts but that alone is
not enough to prepare one for bringing a life into the world and being a
parent. On June 24th, 1977 at 4:51 pm, I gave birth to a beautiful baby
girl who changed my life changed forever.
The first time I thought of you,
My heart filled with wonder
The first time I felt you,
My heart filled with joy.
The first time I saw you,
My heart was lost to you forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the day you were born,
It seemed as if the trees stood a little taller,
the breeze danced a little warmer,
and the stars shone a little brighter.
I
don't know that I was ever the best Mom. But I was Your Mom. And that
has been and always will be a privilege that brings me joy.
Happy
Birthday to my passionate, funny, gregarious, courageous, extroverted,
dynamic, determined, ambitious, brave, resourceful, tough, sensitive,
emotional, persistent, hot-headed, larger-than-life, plucky, daughter.
