What Makes A Mother

What Makes A Mother

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today,
I asked, "What makes a Mother?"
And I know I heard him say:
A Mother has a baby,
This we know is true
But, God, can you be a Mother
When your baby's not with you?

A picture is worth a thousand words

This is on the picture the hospital made us for Emma, which is pretty beautiful!!!

A little piece of Heaven on Earth?

This morning I unfortunately was waiting while my car got an oil change. While I was there a little family came in with a baby. And all I could think was great, I have to sit next to this baby until my car was ready. I think the little baby must have been about six months old and I swear I was just sitting there playing with my phone when I realized he kept looking at me and giggling. Except he wasn't looking at me, he was looking at something else that was right there by me, but wasn't me. It definitely had his attention. I am just saying I think he saw a little angel that the rest of us can't. Pretty much made my day.

What's a movie without popcorn?

4 days...

Some moments I loose thought of who I am or where I am at...

Just watching from the shadows a little five year old girl who dressed up as witch for Halloween and loved getting ice cream with the smiley face sprinkles.

...

Maybe it is just because it is almost my due date or maybe it isn't for a specific reason at all. But, I feel more lost than I ever felt before.

Little Footprints

This is a little poem that I have in one of Emma's memory books

Dear Emma

Emma,
