Daughter
My daughter is amazing. Every moment with her no matter what we are doing, is magical. There are almost no words to describe how wonderful she is. Not in a “she always listens and follows directions” kind of way because lets face it she’s my daughter. She and I don’t even have the understanding and comradery that I share with my son.
Even before my mother died (uncomfortable pause to soak that up); I wanted a daughter. I didn’t know why but I always knew that I did. The day that I brought her home I felt a new level of completeness but even now I can’t exactly put into words why.
Yesterday she sang me a song she learned in preschool about clouds in the sky. Just sitting with her listening to her tiny voice was such a blissful moment, just because it was her. I try and soak up every moment I have with her. I am not eager to admit that she is 5 now.
I bother to regale anyone with this story because my daughter reminds me to just stop and I hope you’ll take the time to do the same. Just stop and enjoy your children.
