I had my smallest baby. 8 little pounds and 9 teeny ounces.
I gained a daughter.
I spent that day studying her, as I did every day for the next few weeks.
I wrote this down in my journal:
You have my hair.
May you let it down more than I did.
You have my eyes.
May you always see yourself the way I see you.
You have my hands.
May you accomplish all you dream with them.
You have my feet.
May you always walk on solid ground.
You have my ears.
May you only hear the good things people say about you.
You have your own thoughts.
May you always share them with me.
You have your own heart.
Eight years later as I re-read that I said,
"Amen."
