Just a quick note to say thank you for all the wonderful comments that were left on my last post about myself and my daughter. The interest and care that everyone showed for my daughter is truly heartwarming and touched me very deeply. I thank you all for that, it really meant a lot to me. I know that many of you understand a mother's love, and I don't love my daughter anymore than any mother loves their own child, nor am I a superhero mother. I do what is right, and try to recognize the blessings that I have and be appreciative for them. I am a "glass half full" kind of gal, and a postive attitude in situations has always seemed to help me through the day.

Thank you all for your positive comments, I think my glass is full now!

xoxo, Tiffany

The Gift

 

Children are a gift from God. When we ask for these gifts, we have a vision in mind. A darling baby girl or boy, vivacious and sweet. We make plans to love them and care for them, listen for their first word, or hold their hand for their first steps. See them run and play, grow and learn.  Watch as they flourish. We have hopes and dreams and plans.

We expect that they will have everything that life has to offer.

The Gift I received wasn't the one I had asked for. It wasn't wrapped in a shiny package with the promise of a perfect life.

It was much better.

Sometimes life takes a turn that you don't expect, and it changes you.

Forever.

 

 

My Gift came in a damaged box, fragile, broken and in need of extra care. 

It is the best gift I have ever received.

No need to return the damaged goods, for disguised inside was the most precious of things.

LOVE

This Little One has nothing but

LOVE

she has no words, no steps, no promise for a future.

Just living everyday,

loving.

My blessing is to spend as many days as I can, giving her love, and receiving her love in return. She has taught me so much. What really matters most.

To be happy even when you have nothing.

 That love gives you strength when everything else tries to break you.

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

Today is a celebration. Having spent eleven wonderful years with this Sweet Little Girl who overflows my heart with joy. Every day that passes we can feel the sands of time slip through our fingers. Each moment she is in our lives is cherished.

Unconditional love is very hard to find, but when you have it, it is the most amazing

 

GIFT

 

Happy Birthday Sweet Sasha, 

We love you.
