My little girl is growing up. It is bittersweet to watch her change. Everyday I am more amazed and more thankful for her tender little heart. All the cliches of parenthood seem such simple truths, sadly when you experience it all for yourself.
Luckily, there is someone more adept at the helm than I. I am so relieved, inspite of all she has endured in her short little life, and despite the example (or lack thereof) I have been, to see God working in her heart. It increases my own faith to see her respond to His proddings and the work He is beginning in her life. I hope as a mother I can encourage this desire she has to serve God, and steer her down this most vital path.
She is incredibly special, to everyone around her and lately I have been wondering how I got so lucky to have this incredible kid in my life. I cannot imagine how wonderful she will be as a big sister... it will be a joy to watch.
I am sure that there will be days ahead where I wonder where the sweet little girl I used to know has gone, but I am writing this that in hopes of whatever the future brings, I will remember that underneath a surly teenager lies a sweetheart of a kid.
