The Usual?

Usually Thursday finds me writing thirteen things I am either doing or thinking about, but right now life has become happily busy and I’m afraid that I’m finding it hard to pin down thirteen things that are related.

On Wednesday I got to spend time with Mandy. We shopped the sales, and had a nice lunch, but here is where I got lost.

You see, I got lost in my love for my daughter. Suddenly as we sat having lunch I could recall the first moments of seeing her beautiful face!

The love was so deep and overwhelming and pure. I swear, there is nothing like it. I remember looking at her, and then looking up into my ex-husband’s face, and knowing that we both felt the same way about the miracle of this tiny person.

As Mandy grew into womanhood, I watched in total wonder, as she became a warm, wonderful, caring and loving person. Yesterday I sat there thinking, “Wow, I’m her mother!”.

I search the outline of her face and I can see her father and me. She is the best of both of us. How blessed we are to have her.

I hope she will know that I love her deeply.

Yes, blessings!!!
