Wow. My first blog…ever! This is pretty exciting to me, as you can tell. I have so many thoughts on what I could or should write about, but I’ll keep it to what ‘s been on my mind all day…here it goes!
Eight years ago today, God blessed me with a daughter…and I became a Mother for the very first time at 22 years old. As soon as I saw her, my life was changed forever. She was beautiful. They never told me how beautiful she would be. I remember when she would wake up in the middle of the night, and I would just rock her…and watch her sleep. I would sit there in awe, imagining what it would be like when she was older. They never told me how fast those times really do fly by.
Now looking back I see Emaleigh, 2 years old, meeting her brand new baby brother, “Beebee Yijah”, for the first time. Then, when she was 3 years old, dancing and singing in every princess costume imaginable. My big 4 year old starting preschool and really letting her Daddy’s personality shine through…making friends with everyone. Wow, she’s 5 and starting Kindergarten…trying to run home during recess because she missed her Mommy. My first grader is now 6 and has calluses on her hand like she’s been doing the monkey bars all of her life. So excited at 7 to be a big sister for the second time, and being a little “mini mommy” helping at every opportunity she gets. And now 8…She has blossomed into the most beautiful, smart, kind, energetic and sassy little girl that I have ever come to love.
Tonight, I sit here feeling so blessed to be a mother of 3. They never told me just how blessed I could feel.
Happy Birthday Emaleigh.
Beautiful entry!
Thankyou 🙂
God will bless you in all you do. You are an incredible light. Great things will come from this blog!!!
Love it! It really does fly by to fast. They should tell everyone just so they know to savor every little moment!
