i feel i need to write a note of gratitude because, really, everything feels as if it is falling in on me. so rather than focus on what's falling, i just have to say how truly and unbelievably thankful i am for my beautiful baby. because no matter how many directions i am pulled, she pulls the hardest, and it is always with thankfulness that i answer to her needs. to be a mother, a parent, is to muster not just energy but love and patience and a face that welcomes and lights up to them because that is what our children see. i am thankful for her because she surprises me, and cries for me, and laughs with me, and learns from me. how could i want for even an ounce of anything else?
