This day is forever marked in my heart.
I met and fell in love with my Baby Girl.
She was one of ‘those’ newborns; had a tough time figuring out night from day. Night after night, week after week, month after month…she would not sleep through the night. So I held my baby close, rocking her while I sang, “There’s a hole in my bucket” over and over and over and over…
As all babies do, she grew up. A tomboy, who at the age of three; climbed and became stuck in a Crabapple tree. She played tee-ball and would step to bat and wiggle her booty… it was her warm-up routine. My Baby Girl grew into a beautiful teenager and a caring person.
Her inner beauty and compassion are her greatest of gifts. She is now a Labor & Delivery nurse, caring for the newborns. I am so very proud of all her accomplishments. She is a supportive wife and a loving mother to my grandgirl. I remember whispering to her as she was being wheeled out to deliver her daughter, “You will now know how deeply I love you.”
My daughter and I danced to the song, “You Can’t Lose Me” at her wedding. These are our words…
"You can't lose me
Bet your life
I am here and I will always be
Just a wish away
Wherever you go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me"
