Each moment I look into her eyes, I see a flicker of a young lady. Sometimes its just the "little" things she does. I am truly amazed each day at the person she is becoming. It honestly brings tears to my eyes how proud I am of her. She has been through so much in her short life, and yet her spirit hasnt been dampened.
She is smart, funny, and beautiful... She is innocent and full of life. She loves to laugh and make others laugh as well. I sometimes question my parenting skills... I guess as all parents to.. especially single mothers. It has not been easy, but worth every second.
I spend my time with her learning as much from her as she does from me. I think with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we as adults, forget what its like to enjoy the little things. We tend to take things for granted easily. I have the pleasure of seeing things everyday through the eyes of a 5yr old.
When mommie is at her worst.. a tiny voice says "I love you mommie who's super mommie". That takes away every ounce of uncertainty where as my purpose in life is concerned. I always wanted to give her the things I never had, and as a parent.. I think thats what we all want for our children. I can say I didnt have alot of material things, but I was never without love. That is one thing she will be wrapped in for the rest of her life.
As she grows each day older, soon to be a teenager, our time together grows shorter. I look into the future and see her on her wedding day, then with her own child... and I am filled with such happiness, that it evelopes my soul.
True love is not picturing spending the rest of your life with someone, its not being able to picture your life without them. For her, I wish happiness, and peace.. as she has already given me in such a short time more than she will ever know.
