Bittersweet Birthdays l On a personal Note
On the 29th of May my little princess turned eight. I apologize in advance if this gets a little mushy gushy. I just am still in disbelief that she is no longer a baby and now a young lady. I remember the night before I went into labor. I remember being quite afraid, but full of excitement and anticipation. I had a feeling. Or maybe it was just a hunch but I knew it would be any day and the apprehension grew with each new day. As all first time moms know there is no manual. Its all guesswork. When I woke to find that it was in fact the real deal I can’t describe the excitement. To say that I fell in love the moment she was born is an understatement. I didn’t want to share her. I just wanted to covet her. Protect her. And believe it or not eight years later I still feel the same. exact. way.
For those that don’t know Lillian was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of two. There have been many moments I have wondered simply why. Why my child. But you know its made me a better mother. Its made me a better person. I am so incredibly lucky to have her.
So birthdays with Lillian are more then just a an amazing and special day for our family. It is a reminder. Its a reminder to count our blessings. I thank God every day for my sweet little girl! I am so incredibly lucky!
Just sharing one photo of her cause well she’s mine. And its a photoblog and I love her!
Hope you are all having a beautiful Memorial Day in the states and a great start to your week in other corners of the world!! Thank you for taking the time to stop by!!
Xoxo
