In my daughter's eyes...

I am a big boo hoo-er anyway these days, but this one just undoes me. Here is another not-new video but new to me. What a beautiful tribute!

Angelica is a handful but already, at such a young age, she teaches me something every day. She rubs my bald head and tells me it is "beeeeeeutiful mommy". She is precious! She pops grapes in my mouth and tells me it is medicine..."allll better mommy". She calls me a "ballawena" and wants to twirl with me because it doesn't matter to her that I can't dance (understatement...lol). She sings constantly and has, I swear, an old soul. She is such a blessing!

People are so kind and say I am strong. They say I am an inspiration. But the truth is so well articulated in this song. My children make it clear what life is all about. My children give me strength when I feel like giving up. They, along with all of you, are the reason I can stand tall in this fight.

Thank you...

I love that song. BTW- All our children are sent here to teach us something. That is no mistake. It's God's divine hand at work. You apparently had a lot to learn. Ha..BTW-so did I.
kisses,

OK, apparently that song was written for you, Maureen--before Angelica came home (I'm in tears here)...and for many of us. What a beautiful song, beautifully sung. And what a beautiful story to read of your Angelica. Thank you for sharing that with us.

Blessings being sent to you always,
