Me and My Girl: May 2011

In my daughters eyes....

I am a hero, I am strong and wise and I know no fear.

But the truth is plain to see, she was sent to rescue me.

I see who I want to be in my daughter's eyes.

This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak,

I find reason to believe in my daughters eyes.

In my daughters eyes, I can see the future.

A reflection of who I am and what will be.

Though she'll grow and someday leave, maybe raise a family

When I'm gone I hope you'll see, how happy she made me

For I'll be there, in my daughters eyes.

A special thank you to Karina Orgill for capturing this time in my life. I am blessed to have a beautiful daughter. I am lucky to know the people I do and have the opportunities I have. I'm grateful to be a mother. I'm grateful for Addison and the way she sees the world and has changed my life. I love the way my daughter loves bubbles, running, and shaking her booty. I love how funny she thinks it is to tell me a secret. I love how excited she gets to do anything if I say it in the right tone. I love that at night she makes me give her 5 kisses and 5 hugs. I love that she doesn't see race, gender, social status or have any biases toward people. I love that she is full of love. I love watching this little girl grow and can't wait to continue to see the woman she will become. "The truth is plain to see, she was sent to rescue me, I see who I want to be, in my daughter's eyes."

My Favorite Quotes

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't suppose to let you down probaby will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too hard, love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of hapiness you'll never get back."
