This morning after I woke up Carlie and gave her some "wake up" time, she motioned me into her room. I laid down beside her, and she put her little hands on my cheeks and said, "Mommy, I love you." That is why I am a parent. That is why I put myself second (or third, or fourth). That makes each and every sacrifice worth it. Those four little words made my morning, and will probably ring in my ears for the day. I wonder if as she gets older if those words will mean more or less to me? I wonder when I tell my mom, "Mom, I love you" if it makes her day too. But I bet it never, ever gets old hearing that - no matter the age of your child. So this one is for you mom - "Mommy, I love you!"

aahhhh!! How sweet!!
I have tears in my eyes!!! Don't you wish that you could just freeze or preserve that special time with our little ones??
I can assure you, that when you tell me "I love you, Mom" -- It lifts me up and I remember it ALL day!!
We have been thru so much and it seems like we have come a full circle!!
Was it worth it all??
Oh YES!!!!---
My Bible study this morning was:
Be thankful for the "hard times"
Because you'll appreciate the "GOOD" sooo much more!!
I thank God each and everyday for all of my sweet, sweet kids!!
I love you, Micki!!!
