I am in awe of how life has changed since this sweet child entered my world. I have seen, experienced, felt, done things I never thought possible. In the past 18 months, I have witnessed so many firsts: first smile, first tooth, first step, first word, even a first hospital stay. I have witnessed love and friendships blossoming between siblings. As well as compassion, camaraderie, challenges... I have witnessed personalities mature. Independence tested. Reassurance sought. I have witnessed family not as a noun, but as a living, breathing, growing, loving verb. I have found my comfort. I have found my solace. I have found my anxiety, my fear. I have found my frustration. I have found my responsibility. I have found my continuing, growing love. I am besotted.
Wouldn't you be?
