Today I laid down with Lilian until she fell asleep for her afternoon nap. I pretty much do this every day now, but most of the time I pop right up to go about my business once I am convinced she is completely asleep. But today I laid with her a little longer. I cuddled her a little tighter.
I am completely amazed at what an amazingly kind, sweet, funny, independent, helpful, shy, silly girly little girl that Lillian has grown into. I praise God every day for her precious little life, and am still in awe that He created this child to be Shaun and mine's daughter. I think your first born always holds an extra special place in a Mommy's heart. My whole life I have never wanted anything more than to be a Mother, and Lillian gave me that. She made my dream come true the moment she entered this world, all 7 lbs and 2 oz of her. That wonderful little girl made me a Mommy and I am forever grateful to her for that amazing gift! I pray that she always knows how special she is, and how much she is loved by her family.
I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ.
Philippians 1:6
