I Smile

IMG_4512This is what love is. Honest to goodness LOVE. You know, this young lady makes me smile. Laugh. A lot. We had these taken a couple of days ago. Yes, it’s been awhile since writing a blog, been even longer since my daughter and I have taken the time to have some photos done. This. Says. It. All. I am proud of this young woman.

As I write this today, after seeing some of the photos that were taken, I cry. I cry happy tears. I am covered, surrounded by pillows in a bit of a physical struggle again today. NO. Honestly no sadness here at all. Not at all!  My body. Guess it kinda likes to shut down. We have a love/hate relationship, yeah, for years. But…. Here’s my opinion. I say THANK YOU!  You know why? If it hadn’t been for the bitch (cancer)…. infertility…I might have never felt love like this, true love, honest to goodness joy. This young woman, my daughter, was placed in my life for a reason. She teaches me something each day. Especially love. Funny, although we don’t look like each other, we are alike in so many ways, it makes me giggle. This chosen child, is one of my two. Both give me reason. Bring on the physical limitations, discomfort. It’s been worth every second. Pretty darn amazing I’d say!

me,

Pat

  1. What a wonderful blog today and what an amazing daughter. I can tell, by her writings, that you have influenced her and loved her in such a profound way. Love to see your smiles! It’s bittersweet to see them grow up isn’t it? You should see who my son has become… I am in awe. ALL of the struggles, they have been worth it. ❤ ❤
