day 1: i am thankful for my daughter
people say that she looks just like me. i have yet to find another child that can stare me down like she can. she has made my life far more full than i could have ever imagined. i always wanted a daughter. i am amazed that i can i can look at her and see the person she is changing into.
she has my grandfather's crystal blue eyes. i never imagined having a blue eyed child. never. she hugs me every time i walk into a room. every. single. time.
i would rather hear her say "mommy" than anyone say "leigh" anytime.
i hope she'll remember me rocking her to sleep, as i remember my mom rocking me to sleep.
if i did not have her, i would not fully understand how precious children are. she makes me a better teacher. she makes me a better person. she makes me WANT to be a better person.
i look forward to seeing her every time i am away from her. she makes every day an adventure. she loves me.
xoxo
tell me i'm beautiful...
