?Maybe it’s because she is my baby & always will be…
?Maybe it’s because I’m older, in my forties, and realize the fleeting preciousness of these uninhibited pure moments…
? Maybe it’s because I am a mom to many at many different ages & stages and know this age, this GOLDEN age of 5, is the sweet spot…
?Maybe it’s because I fell to the ground on my knees begging God to save her life 5 years ago when we were told she would not live & if she did, it would be with the most severe of disabilities…
?Maybe it’s because she has a way, a special light & wisdom…
?Maybe it’s because she saw the light of God and came back to shine it for the world to see…some things just cannot be explained. That some things in life require us to have FAITH & HOPE in the darkest of hours…
?Maybe it’s because I know that these little hands, wrapped around my neck ever so slightly won’t be there forever…
?Maybe it’s because that precious little voice with the speech sounds still developing just melts my heart in a way that only a mother can understand…
?Maybe it’s the way she keeps me always on my toes, turning every corner looking for her & chasing her as she lives her life colorfully & freely…..
?Maybe it’s because I know that after 5 babies, this one is my last…
?Maybe it’s because she & I have been through so much pain early on, that we shine stronger now…
?Maybe it’s because we both know the importance of living in the moment & not taking moments for granted…
?Maybe it’s because she just knows how to make me stop everything that I’m doing & just cherish the moment & just BE…
?Maybe it’s because God knew I needed her just as much as she needed me…
?This Little Light of Mine, I’m Gonna Let it Shine…?
