It was just yesterday that I held this little bundle in my arms with her little red face and red hair and cried. Thanking God for bringing me a healthy beautiful baby girl. Today as I watched her walk across the stage to get her eighth grade diploma, I felt the tears come creeping up. I say to myself " where did the time go?" I now know the feeling that I am sure went through the hearts of my parents that same day in my life. I also now have a new understanding for the statements my mom and dad always used to make like " Your always my Ally Pooh" or " Your forever my Carmel baby". I used to be like "Oh please". But now as a mother, I understand. I am looking into a mirror some days. I thank God for every moment that he gives me and pray that he gives me wisdom in all my words and actions. Being a parent is such an amazing journey of discovery in who you are and also rising to new challenges in life. I just pray everyday that this short time that God has given me to mold and raise her that I will do it with dignity and patience. I pray that his Grace will always flow from my mouth and that my daughter will grow to be a "woman of God".Okay, I am going to say it " Kiri, you will always be my little KJ". Love you!!!
