It’s hard to believe that it has been four years since I was that confident, pregnant school teacher waiting for her miracle to be born. I had all the faith in the world that everything would be right, and though the experience of my first birth left me physically and mentally scarred, things were just right. The little miracle born that day has taught me so very much about myself and the world. It pinches somewhere deep inside that these four years have passed so quickly. I know the coming years will race by me with equal speed. Before I know it, I will be looking into the face of a woman. A woman that I raised from the very beginning. Some things I will do and have done very right, and other things I will do and have done very wrong, but right or wrong isn’t the point of it all. The point is always our motives. I’m motivate by truth and love. I love you Deladis. Happy Birthday and God Bless you my little one.

What a sweet tribute to your daughter. She’s darling. Being a mother is so bittersweet. Obviously, it’s our goal to raise happy, independent and responsible children, but how it hurts to see them leave childhood and their need for us.
My eldest is turning five in six months and, as I watch her blossom, I’m struck by how quickly she has grown.
God bless.

It makes me want to change who I am, watching her grow. I’m very proud of her.

H*a*p*p*y B*i*r*t*h*d*a*y *Deladis*!
Wishing you God’s blessings and much happiness always.
My “baby” just turned 17 and he’s going to college just about a year from now. The time does go by way too fast.
I wish – sometimes – that I could go back to my childhood where summers seemed to last forever and life was carefree and I had both my parents here with me 😉

She is adorable!! Today is my b-day too-neat!
I loved your post about school. I had those same worries and thoughts before my girls started school-next year they’ll be in 8th grade-and I still have those worries and thoughts!

Lovely photos. It’s hard to believe that just four years ago you were not yet a parent. Happy anniversary of the birth of a beautiful young girl and a wonderful mother.
