Sometimes, this mother/daughter thing isn’t so easy.
Personalities, hormones and tempers flare; a high tide washing over deep love.
She started out in life fighting; fighting to breathe, to grow and
to stay alive while we prayed and stood watch. Watching, believing and waiting
for God to move. She was our baby girl. He had to save her.
Praise God - He did.
We’ve had moments, storms and victories, memories along the way
that steel the breath and bring the tears. Rejoicing over all the “firsts’ thus
far and anticipating the ones yet to come.
It all flashes by, the years revealed in the flutter of graduation
gowns and in promises held for the future.
I’m thanking God today for my daughter; for her spirit, her fire,
her dreams, her beautiful smile…and her life.
Congratulations to you, Elise
Love, Mom
