NINE Years Ago Today

Nine Years Ago Today . . .

I stared into the eyes of an angel for the first time.

Understood, a little better, the point of my existence.

Felt complete, to that particular time.

My heart was in my arms.

I experienced feelings and emotions I never thought possible.

We became a family.

I became a mother for the first time.

The one I had been praying for had finally arrived.

I fell in love with my husband all over again in a completely new way when I saw him holding our son, and I saw the look in his eyes.

I thought life could not possibly get any better than that moment.

Jacob - 6 months old.
