"I’ve seen you cringe just a little when someone says your child is lucky to have you. Because you know with all your being it is the other way around.
But most of all, I want you to know that I’ve seen you look into your child’s eyes. And while you will never see a reflection of your own eyes there, you see something that’s just as powerful: A reflection of your complete and unstoppable love for this person who grew in the midst of your tears and laughter, and who, if torn from you, would be like losing yourself."
I already feel that way about Baby Girl. I am so blessed and honored that her mom chose me. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat made me tear up. Thanks for sharing, a beautiful read.
