| You are smiling more and more every day |
April 14, 2009
Good Morning my love! You have been a shining star! The Lord has truly blessed us with people in our lives to help you enjoy life more. You spent the entire weekend with your cousins and had a BLAST. I love listening to you giggle. You are so loved, never forget that.
Daddy bought you a bug house and you are crazzzy over these little bugs, you just love them. It is so precious to see you have a connections with God's little creatures.
Love
Mommy
I am told that "Courage grows out of difficult circumstances" and I believe that to be true. When the ground shatters under your feet we have choices to make and I have to say I made the wrong choices. I allowed rage to control my life, my marriage and my mothering.
My approach in handling my daughter was so far off base that it is embarrassing to admit. What Skyler needed was an authoritarian yet gentle voice and my calm spirit.
I now understand what it means to walk by faith and not by feelings, to think before I respond, "to Stop, Look and Listen" as the firefighters say. I want to keep learning, keep growing and keep being my daughters defender, cheerleader and mother.
